Spring doesn't mean cooler temps in San Antonio, and by late April, our trees are already feeling the effects of rising heat and inconsistent rainfall. You might notice wilting leaves, early leaf drop, or a stressed appearance in trees that usually look fine. This is heat and water stress, and it's real in our area.
Some trees are more drought-tolerant than others. Live oaks, native Texas species, and established trees often handle the heat better than younger or non-native plantings. The key is timing: proper mulching and strategic watering in spring can set trees up to handle summer heat without major stress.
