2011 brought a serious drought to the Central Texas region. It was one of the worst on record. Many creeks and streams dried up and
Lake Travis dipped to record low lake levels. The drought had negative affects on many aspects of Central Texas life, but one serious
problem it created was serious stress on pecan trees. As a result of low water in the ground, pecan trees have been drying up and
dying in Zilker Park and various neighborhoods, causing trouble for Central Texas homeowners. Fortunately, there some things you
can do to help save the trees.
