A summer without significant rain could lead to an autumn without significant fall colors 🍂🙃 TX FallFoliage Texas
In a news release, the office said despite some late summer rain, much of Texas remains abnormally dry or in some stage of drought, and trees across the state are continuing to show signs of stress.than average and combined with the effects related to the lingering drought, that means this year’s fall foliage may be less vibrant than usual,” the news release read.
“However, due to the drought, some trees have already defoliated,” said Courtney Blevins, Texas A&M Forest Service urban forester. “Others still have their leaves, but they are dead and brown. These trees obviously will not be giving us any fall colors to enjoy this year.”When to see the fall foliage at its peak
“There are many long-term effects that trees will have to deal with years after the drought has ended,” Blevins said, according to the news release. “They don’t just suffer during the drought. Add to this the stress from the 2021 freeze, and it complicates the situation even further.”Wood-boring insects, root rots and canker-causing pathogens are particularly common in many tree species after drought, Texas A&M Forest Service said.
With many shade trees going into premature dormancy and otherwise stressed because of the dry summer, it can be difficult to assess their health. Just because leaves begin to fall from a tree, does not mean the tree is dead. For small trees, you can use a fingernail to scrape some of the smaller twigs. If there is green underneath, the tree is not dead.
