The Wasatch Front's late-June heat is doing real work on the trees right now. After a dryer-than-normal spring, many established trees in Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, and Holladay are heading into July already behind on soil moisture, and the signs are starting to show.
Look for leaf scorch along the margins, wilting that doesn't recover in the evening, early leaf drop on deciduous trees, and a dusty, sparse look to the canopy. These are not cosmetic issues. They're indicators that the tree's root system is struggling to keep pace with transpiration demand, and if the pattern continues through July and August, structural decline can follow within a season or two.
Green Pointe Tree Care's plant healthcare services are designed for exactly this situation. A site assessment can confirm whether your trees are managing the heat on their own or whether targeted support, deep root watering, or soil amendment, will help them get through the summer intact.
Don't wait for visible dieback to call. The best outcomes happen early.
