San Antonio's heat season is approaching, and live oaks will face water stress if they're not properly set up for success. Spring is the time to prepare.
Healthy, well-watered oaks handle summer heat better. Trees that are stressed or competing for water become vulnerable to pest pressure and disease. A professional arborist can recommend irrigation strategies, mulching depth, and crown structure improvements that help your oaks thrive through the hot months.
Heat stress on live oaks often doesn't show up until June or July, when it's too late to prevent damage. The time to act is now, while trees are still leafing out.
Have you noticed any of your oaks struggling in recent summers?
