Atlanta Tree Service Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts Cautions Homeowners to Look for Drought Stress

    NORCROSS, GA, August 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta tree removal company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts cautions Georgia homeowners to be wary of drought stress in their trees this summer. An unusually dry winter, coupled with several years of overall drought conditions in Georgia and the heat of the summer sun, is putting trees at risk.

Drought stress is a tree's natural response to prolonged drought conditions. These conditions can be difficult to spot immediately, but over time, leaves and needles may wilt, unseasonably change colors, or appear to be scorched on their edges. If severe enough, drought stress can either end up killing a tree or weakening its immune system enough that it will end up succumbing to disease, fungal infection, or insect infestation.

The Atlanta arborists at Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts recommend that homeowners remember to water their trees during times of drought to avoid needing Atlanta tree removal services. Atlanta tree service Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts notes that trees should be watered for long intervals at slow speeds to ensure that erosion does not occur and that the tree can slowly soak up the moisture it needs during a drought.

"Georgia droughts have become worse as the years pass, and metro Atlanta trees are certainly not immune to the effects of drought," remarks Gary Robertson, owner of Atlanta tree trimming company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts. "If homeowners aren't careful to take care of their trees, it is possible for them to be lost to the ravages of drought stress."

If you are concerned that your trees might be suffering from drought stress, call the Atlanta arborists at Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts to come and inspect your trees and determine the best course of action.
