As our summer closes, we have seen some unimaginably hot temperatures here in the south of the UK. This requires a moment to ponder on how your trees might feel during these days of constant intense sunshine.

Here is some top tips on the best way to ensure your trees can endure these heatwaves which we are warned may well become more commonplace.

Should I Regularly Water my trees?

The trees around your house, like flowers and plants, are a living organism. Very much like you, your family, and your pets. They likewise, will need however much water they have during normal weathers. If you’ve got dried out trees that  begin to give indications of drying out then there are a few things to be considered. In this is the case, make certain to give your trees the water they need. It very well might be enticing to overwater them throughout the mid year heatwave, but that can be a poorly conceived notion. Newly planted and young trees, for example, need two times the ordinary measure of water. More seasoned trees will endure the dry spells longer, however you still may need to water them.

If Possible, find them some shade.

You’d feel greatly improved sitting in the shade with a tall glass of ice cold lemonade and the most recent best selling novel. Your trees would see the value in some shade as well. This is only really possible if you have smaller, young trees that you may be able to shade with a large gazeebo or an umbrella. Along these lines, you can safeguard their leaves and crowns. Be that as it may, when the intense heat has gone, you’ll have to bring down all of the additional shade you’ve given. All things considered, badly affected trees suffing from dryness will require time to return and change. Most of time they will get back to their former glory, particularly more aged trees
