Trees

Cold snaps brought fall foliage to Austin in 2018 and 2022, but an expert says it's been too hot and dry for the leaves change this year.

Trees closer to leaking city water systems show less evidence of drought stress than their more rural counterparts.

You could argue the stakes were lower then; the protesters were there to save some trees along Waller Creek. But the response from university administrators was the same.

A spokesperson said the Austin Parks and Recreation Department is determining the extent of the damage to the historic tree.

The average American human lives to their 70s. The average giant tortoise can live more than 100 years. The Greenland shark can live up to 500 years. What about trees in Austin?

The City of San Marcos removed three dying trees in City Park this week. Officials say urban trees are struggling with year after year of drought.

"Flo" was diagnosed with a fatal fungal disease that will cause the tree to eventually collapse, arborists said. The city delayed removal until after public input could be given, but will now move ahead as planned on Thursday.

Austin Parks and Recreation hasn't said why it's decided to postpone Flo's removal just three days after the department first announced its decision.

The city plans to remove the pecan tree on Thursday. There will be a celebration of Flo's life the night before.

Further testing will determine the iconic tree's fate. If it has to be removed, the city will host a ceremony for the public. We're rooting for you, Flo!
