i'm in zone 9 central California- 65 miles due east of san Fran. we just had
for the second year in a row the hottest July and August on record----20
some days over 100 degree F last year and 30 some days over 100 degrees F
with about 10 of those in 110 F range.
I stayed inside and went out 4 times a day to water-this is it-I bought a
drip system after this fiasco.
The only good-if its good who know-is that one of my trident maples got
badly burnt from heat around middle of June.So I said heck with it and
defoliated and by August first its got a full head of leaves half the
size-although it now need a serious pruning-I'll wait till November at
least----------this summer has sucked.

This has to be to driest summer I've ever seen. No rain since early July.
Seems to have had one benefit, tho.
The insect and fungi population is down. It's too dry, even for them!
How are the conditions elsewhere?
