Rocky, shallow soil on Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain doesn't hold water the way the valley floor does.
A dry summer stretch shows up faster in these areas, often as thinning canopies or leaves that droop earlier in the day than usual.
A slow, deep soak does more for root health than a quick daily spray, especially for roots working to reach moisture through rocky ground.
Trees under drought stress are also easier targets for pests and disease they'd otherwise handle fine on their own.
