That is the message from University of Illinois Extension small farms educator, Doug Gucker, who indicates your tree could be showing signs of stress.

 

 

Gucker says it is a good time to try and get your tree some water and there are a few easy, practical methods to do that.

 

 

When using a sprinkler to water the trees, Gucker says a good way to measure how much water you've used is to put a soup can down and when you get two inches in that can, you know how long to run the sprinkler on other trees you may have.
