In this AXIOS Austin article, Will Johnston from Davey's South Austin office shares what homeowners can do to protect their trees from drought conditions.
It may be cooler this week, but Central Texas is facing worsening drought conditions.
Severe drought and extreme heat can lead to high fire risks and water shortages and impact trees and other plants.
Drought conditions have worsened in Central Texas and across the state this month, with Travis County now under "moderate drought" conditions as of Oct. 10, according to the latest map from U.S. Drought Monitor.
