The combination of heat and humidity that settles over Greenville, Greer, and the Upstate in late June creates conditions that are genuinely hard on trees, particularly those that were stressed by a dry spring or damaged in a previous storm season.
Leaf scorch, slowed growth, and increased vulnerability to fungal disease are all common symptoms during this stretch of the summer. Trees dealing with compacted soil near driveways and foundations have a harder time pulling enough moisture to keep up with the heat load. Older specimens in tight urban settings are especially susceptible.
Integrity Tree Co's ISA-Certified Arborist can walk through your property and help you understand which trees are managing the summer well and which ones may need some attention before fall arrives. Sometimes the answer is simply better mulching or watering habits. Sometimes it's structural pruning to reduce the canopy load. Either way, getting a clear assessment now is better than dealing with a decline that built quietly all summer.
