The extreme 100°-plus temperatures continue here in Texas. A normal summer in our part of the state may see 2 or 3 days in the 100’s but then drop to the 90’s. But this year the entire summer has been continually over 100°.
Our trees are definitely heat-stressed! Some of our oak trees are considered “evergreen”, as they hold their green leaves all through the year until new ones arrive in the spring. But trees are now losing leaves daily no matter how much we water them. We could sure use some rain!
And yes, of course I know that live oaks do not come from leaves, as the scribbled note in the lower left corner implies. I was thinking about how tiny the acorns from our live oaks are while writing about the small leaf — sort of goofed it up! 😂
