Texas is starting to see widespread drought stress in trees across the state and some tree fatality because of stress. Dying trees are generally in isolated pockets where the soil is dry and not holding much water, or in parts of the state where there has been an extended period without rain.

The best thing we can do to slow mortality rates in trees is water them, and consistently. Consistent watering is crucial for trees because there is no water storage system within them. Most of the water taken up by trees is not held in the trees but instead is returned to the atmosphere in a process called transpiration.

Unlike a cactus that fill with water for later use, trees are constantly getting water from the soil and releasing it back in the atmosphere through transpiration. Due to the lack of a water storage system within trees, they need watering regularly to survive.

In extreme drought, trees can survive on half the recommended water – one to two gallons per inch of trunk diameter, once a week. Learn more drought watering tips here: https://bit.ly/3JBMtu2
