Overwatering is more common in Metro Atlanta than most homeowners realize, especially in properties with heavy clay soil that holds moisture long after rain. The symptoms look like drought stress: yellowing leaves, wilting, soft bark near the base, and premature leaf drop. That similarity causes many homeowners to water more, which deepens the problem.
A tree that has been overwatered can recover if the situation is caught early enough. The steps involve correcting drainage, adjusting irrigation patterns, and giving the root system time to stabilize. In more advanced cases, an arborist assessment helps determine whether the root system is still viable and what the realistic recovery outlook is.
