Dry stretches in May put Frederick-area trees under stress before summer heat even arrives. Knowing how to water correctly makes a real difference for your trees' long-term health.
Deep, infrequent watering beats frequent shallow watering every time. For established trees, aim for roughly 10 gallons per inch of trunk diameter, applied slowly at the drip line. Shallow watering keeps roots near the surface and leaves trees more vulnerable to both drought and storm damage later in the season.
If you're seeing leaf curl, early leaf drop, or tip dieback on trees right now, it's worth having an arborist take a look. Watts Tree Experts serves Frederick, MD and the surrounding communities. We offer free estimates and honest assessments.
