Trees and Drought 2016
Event Information
Description
Prolonged drought can have severe and long-lasting effects on trees. Trees may exhibit visible damage in the short-term. In the long-term, they may reduce flower and fruit production and eventually die if damage is severe. Drought-stressed trees are also less able to protect themselves and become more susceptible to invasion by insects or disease. This workshop will provide information on current threats to our trees, how trees respond to water stress and strategies to make our community trees more drought-resilient.
