Here's an easy test to see if it's time to water your trees! If you are relying on your lawn sprinklers to water your trees, they may not be getting enough. Make sure trees receive around 10 gallons for each inch of trunk diameter (3" thick trunk = 30 gallons of water) each week during the growing season. Apply water at the dripline, where the roots can use it most efficiently.
For more info about caring for trees in a landscape, check out this bulletin:https://www.wyoextension.org/agpubs/pubs/MP-158-4.pdf
