A Gardener’s Notebook: Scorch and sunburn in the garden – Lots of damage in the neighborhood – August 9, 2018

A few weeks ago, here in the San Fernando Valley, we set an all-time high temperature of 117º. While we are used to a few days of warm temperatures each Summer, this is by far the hottest and longest patch I, and most of the California Natives, have ever experienced. As I walked around the neighborhood over the next several weeks I began spotting some major shrub and tree damage from this intensive heat. In my 30+ years in California,  I have only ever seen damage like this after several nights of freezing temperatures (which do happen quite regularly here in the Valley).

Heat has been brutal, so I've started covering some of the more affected plants. In he past I've used a black shade cloth but thought I'd try these IKEA shears this time. They're lightweight and let thru air and some sun. Will see how it works. #hotweather #sunscald #wilting #parchedplants #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)

Sunscald / sunburn on fruit trees is new to me. Do you experience this? How do you handle it?
