Chattanooga's hot, humid summers create real stress for trees, particularly those in urban settings, compacted soil, or areas with limited root space.
Watch for wilting or curling leaves that don't recover overnight, premature leaf drop, thin patches in a canopy that was full earlier in the season, and bark cracking on sun-exposed sides. Trees under heat stress are more vulnerable to insect activity and fungal disease, which can cause lasting damage over a single summer.
