How do elms survive the summer?

Elm trees need to be watered in summer

Elm trees are afraid of waterlogging, but they can tolerate drought, even in summer.

In summer, it is generally necessary to water elm trees in moderation, because the cause of elm tree death at this time is mostly due to too much watering, which causes the soil to be too moist, and then the roots slowly rot until they rot completely. Best to cause the elm tree to die.

Do not water too much or too frequently in summer. You can spray some water on the leaves of the elm tree appropriately.

Elm trees need sufficient sunlight in summer

Elm trees like light. They will grow well if they are given sufficient light. If there is insufficient light, their growth will be weak. Summer is the period when elm trees grow vigorously. At this time, the roots will grow vigorously, so it is necessary to increase some light appropriately, which can promote its photosynthesis and make the roots grow further. When raising it at home, there is no need for shade.

Elm trees do not need pruning in summer

In summer, it is not that you don’t need to prune the branches, but it is best not to prune the branches and leaves too extensively.

The temperature is high in summer, and elm trees can dissipate heat through transpiration. If the branches and leaves are pruned on a large scale at this time, the normal regulatory function will be destroyed, the evaporation of the elm trees will be reduced, and the moisture in the soil will be difficult to evaporate, which may cause root rot or even death.

Therefore, in the summer, in order for the elm tree to grow normally, do not carry out drastic pruning.
