Every year, we are impressed by how trees handle standing
outside in 90 degree heat without being able to move and while they provide us
with shade, they are not getting much shade themselves. Of course, trees have evolved in very
different ways from humans, buy just like us they “sweat out” water in order to
hydrate.
This process is known as evapotranspiration. It is how trees transport water through their
roots, trunks, branches and eventually out of their leaves. This particular process brings nutrients and
water to all parts of the tree, and essentially allows the tree to
breathe. That old mantra climate change
(whether you are a proponent or not) puts added stress on trees.
The trees of the Reno area and all of Northern Nevada are
precious to The Tree Professionals. They
are this area’s true arborists and the people you call for care, proper growth,
trimming, and cutting of all varieties of trees in our area. Please call The Tree Professionals and keep
your trees in tip top condition this summer.
