-Remove slow-release watering bags from around your trees.  Tree trunks and the tree flare need to be exposed to air.

-Check the mulch.  Freshen mulch by adding 2 to 3 inches in a ring around the trunk.  Pull the mulch about 3 to 6 inches away from the truck so that the root flare can be exposed to air.

- If autumn days heat up giving your trees some water is good.  Do not water after the ground freezes.

-Enjoy the fall
