Dry soil
Which trees are good for dry soil?

Plants must obvoiusly be watered regularly in the first few years after planting.
Droughts in general will effect stress for most of the plants and will reflect this in not only less growth and less foliage production, they also will change it their apprearance in autumn colour display and winterhardyness. A stressed plant is also more vunerable to insect attacks.
