North Carolina summers can be hard on trees, and drought stress is easy to miss until it has already progressed significantly.
Look for wilting or curling leaves that don't recover overnight, early yellowing or leaf drop before fall, thin patches in a canopy that was full last season, and bark cracking on sun-exposed sides of the trunk. Younger trees and recently transplanted trees are especially vulnerable. Drought-stressed trees also become more susceptible to insect and fungal pressure, which can cause lasting damage in a single season.
