Lack of water causes trees to be more susceptible to insect and disease issues, reduces growth and vigor, as well as causes fine root hairs to die. All these stressors can lead a tree into decline and even death. Drought stress damage is not always immediately displayed while in a active drought, damage may appear months to even years later depending on the age and root size of a tree. Proper mulching and watering deeply once a week or more will go a long way to help a tree during dry periods. Greenwood suggests treating trees to reduce drought stress using a super phosphorus and bio-stimulant soil injection, as its essential for overall tree health and vigor.
