Out here in west Texas, they are making noises about NO watering anything next year if this persists. We have big trees that we could lose....lots of people have already.

They claim Texas has lost about 10% of it’s trees (upwards of 500 million)
This does not include the ones lost to fire. [the Bastrop fire alone destroyed 1.5 million]

There were some cities in our area that did not allow watering much either. Most were at the once a week schedule. There are a lot of dead cedar trees in our area.

They're planting a so-called “wall of trees” at the edge of the Sahara Desert — to help stop desertification. Letting trees die may prove to be a huge mistake.

Here in Houston we have already lost huge 150+ year old oaks and mature pines. Gone dead not coming back. It is heart breaking to drive through Memorial Park in the middle of town and see the dead trees. I think we are still 30” behind our normal annual rain. I think I just heard a local TV weather mans say that because of weather patterns for next year do not look good for an end to the drought. I hope I misunderstood him.
