Excessive Heat Impact on Trees in Phoenix 2024

Is the intense heat in Phoenix affecting your trees? This video talks about how the record-breaking heat impacts trees, using our Shamel ash trees as an example. We’ll show footage of how these trees have been affected by the relentless heat, with over 100 consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 100°F. Even hardy trees like the Shamel ash are showing stress, and non-native trees like queen palms, pygmy palms, and citrus trees are struggling.

Additionally, there has been an epidemic of sooty canker, a disease primarily affecting ficus trees. Early signs include peeling or flaking bark with black fungal spores underneath.

We recommend having an arborist inspect your trees to assess any damage and plan for future treatments. As temperatures cool, now is a great time to prepare for next year’s heat with treatments that strengthen root structures.

Suggested treatments include soil amendments, immune boosters, and fungicide packages for hardwood trees that carry chemicals like the pH reducer – which will help to lower the alkalinity in the soil, the systemic fungicide that helps to cure fungus through the roots, meaning the tree will start healing from fungus from the inside out, organic insecticide allows for the killing of invasive species attacking the leaves or the tree in general, and sunscald preventative is an effective spray that will help block harmful UV rays from causing extreme damage to the tree.

These treatments improve root absorption and tree resilience, especially after prolonged heat exposure.
