Drought Stress

In this enlightening video, TreeNewal’s Wes Rivers and ArborJet’s Emmett Muennink discuss the complex relationship between trees, drought stress, and environmental conditions. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, the experts highlights the challenges faced in explaining the effects of drought stress on tree health to customers.

Through a detailed explanation, the expert describes how trees experiencing drought stress may exhibit symptoms such as discoloration, leaf drop, and a rapid progression towards death. The time frame for this process can be as short as a couple of weeks, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issue promptly.

The video delves into the significance of environmental conditions, particularly the transition from a historic drought to an unexpectedly wet period. This sudden change creates a “perfect storm” for trees, as they struggle to adapt to the opposite extreme. The compromised root systems and immunocompromised state caused by the drought make them more susceptible to diseases, ultimately leading to their demise.

By sharing their own shift in approach, the expert highlights the importance of proactively addressing plant health. Rather than solely focusing on saving infected trees, the expert now emphasizes saving adjacent trees and educating customers on proper watering techniques.

This video serves as a cautionary tale, urging viewers to be proactive in caring for tree health. It emphasizes the need to stay ahead of plant health issues, as preventing problems is far easier than attempting to fix them after they have taken hold. The expert’s insights offer valuable lessons for the industry and underscore the importance of raising awareness among customers about the significance of proactive plant health care.
