Here, in this general area and the surrounding counties, fully 30% of trees of all kinds are dead from drought. Pines have brown needles still clinging to branches. Oaks of all kinds have brown, dead leaves likewise clinging to branches. Gum, tupelo (black gum), magnolia (oh, especially the magnolias) chinese tallow and chinaberry, ash, hackberry, black walnut, hickories, black cherry, redbud, cedar, cypress, you name it, dead. So we are looking at a pallette of dead brown, and what's left is varying shades of yellow and some are still green. But 30%, dead.
