Texas lost a lot of huge oaks due to drought. TPWD expects, even with our floods, to have dying post oaks for 10 years. Some on my land had to be a century old. What surprised me was losing a lot of cedars on a spring fed creek when the spring dried up.
Dave, I've never seen so much unseasoned oak split, sitting on the roadsides, ready for sale. Lot's of trees still dying, and no slowdown in the foreseeable future.
Hollywood and others, thanks for a great turn on this thread. Very informative.
