In a Georgia summer, both too little and too much water can stress a tree, and from the ground the symptoms look almost the same.
How much a tree needs depends on the species, its age, the soil, and how deeply the water reaches. A young or newly planted tree has a small root ball and needs consistent, deep watering to establish. A mature shade tree draws from a wide area and usually wants a long, slow soak at the drip line rather than a daily sprinkle near the trunk.
Frequent shallow watering trains roots to stay near the surface, which is a problem when a Metro Atlanta dry spell arrives. Knowing the warning signs of both underwatering and overwatering lets you correct course before lasting damage sets in on trees across Atlanta, Marietta, and Milton.
