Young trees can dry out quickly in hot, dry conditions, so it’s important to water them daily during the summer. Please plant your trees in an area where they will be protected from strong winds and receive shade at some point during the day. Consider purchasing tree shelters or constructing a small wire cage to protect your young trees from wildlife; squirrels and rabbits love young trees. A tomato cage with light-colored cloth fastened around it is an inexpensive solution to protect from wildlife and provide some shade from the harsh summer sun.
