This document summarizes best practices for managing trees during drought conditions. It discusses how drought impacts trees, effective irrigation strategies like hydrozoning and using drip irrigation, and other drought management techniques. It also provides recommendations for selecting drought-resilient tree species for urban landscapes, describing species from zones 4-7 that can tolerate lower water conditions. Examples of susceptible and tolerant species are given. The goal is to keep urban trees healthy during water shortages through irrigation optimization and choosing adapted plants.
