Ditto what bonsaikc says, Jay. I fight drought and high heat all summer long down here in the Deep South, and without a misting system and timer that makes it come on to both cool and water, your trees won't stand much of a chance. I've found that any fear of overwatering is unfounded when using a mist system (versus say deluging during the day, and drip systems can fail if the soil goes alkaline and you get channeling). The trees grow a lot better, and you don't have to rush home to find wilted leaves, drench the tree, recover by morning, then repeat the process. This kills your trees sooner or later, I know because I've done it.
Very nice elm you've got going on, by the way. You've done an excellent job developing it.
