As we head into summer chances are our dry weather will put a strain on our plants, especially trees. Tree experts say a big mistake that a lot of homeowners make in the hot months is watering trees the same way they water their grass.

Prolonged drought can have severe and long-lasting effects on trees. University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, in partnership with the Nevada Division of Forestry, presents “Keeping Your Trees Alive During a Drought,” May 1. Classes will provide information on current threats to our trees, how trees respond to water stress and strategies to make our community trees more drought resilient.
