A stretch of high heat with little rain hits young trees the hardest, showing up as scorched, browning leaf margins on trees planted in the last year or two.
Established trees have deep root systems that reach moisture during a dry spell. A newly planted tree hasn't built that reserve yet and pulls from a much shallower area of soil.
Leaf scorch isn't always fatal, but it's a clear signal the tree needs support while its root system is still developing.
