Rocky, shallow soil on Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain doesn't hold water like the valley floor does. A dry summer stretch shows up faster up there, thinning canopies and drooping leaves included.
A slow, deep soak beats a quick daily spray for roots trying to reach moisture through rock. Trees under drought stress are also easier targets for pests they'd otherwise fight off fine.
Have you noticed your trees looking thirstier than usual this summer?

A real photo of a stressed canopy on a mountain property, or a technician assessing a tree on rocky terrain, works best here.
