As much as I love summer, It is depressing to see fall happening much earlier than usual. The trees are shedding not because the temperatures are cooler, but because they are stressed for lack of rain and higher temperatures. It already feels like fall in much of our trails in our community because the trees have shedded so much. I wonder what’s a realistic solution here? Cut the stressed out trees so the ones that remain survive and flourish? We are not winning the climate war in short term atleast, so how whats the best way to preserve what is left. I often wonder if cutting 2 trees from my own backyard will ensure other trees continue to grow or flourish. Obviously more watering is not an ideal solution.
