Brown, crispy edges on your maple leaves while the rest of the leaf stays green? That's leaf scorch, and it's been appearing on younger maples across Kernersville and Winston-Salem after this summer's heat.
Younger trees with smaller root systems tend to show scorch first because they can't draw enough water during the hottest, driest stretches. It's rarely fatal on its own, but repeated scorch year after year weakens a tree over time.
Spartan Tree Service & Landscaping can take a look and recommend the right watering approach, or flag if something more serious is going on. Deep, infrequent watering often makes a real difference heading into next summer.
