Birch Tree #805876

Asked August 11, 2022, 6:54 PM EDT

I’ve attached a few photos of a bird tree in my yard that is dropping and seems to lack leaves towards the top. What can/should be done? Thank you! -Dave

Expert Response

It seems to be wilting in the heat. Birch are understory trees they want their roots cool. They need an inch of water every week until the ground freezes. Urban   environments are challenging for them.
