Shade trees will be thirstier than ever this year and require extra water at first sign of a dry spell. Wil iam W. White of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co notes lush foliage in healthy trees increases water needs, while weakened trees struggle to uptake soil moisture.

Watering trees helps fight drought threats and pests
