Yes, many street trees in the neighborhood are suffering from drought. See below for just one example. It's easy to be oblivious to street trees, as if they're not our problem. But if nature doesn't water them, they will suffer and die, because the District certainly isn't going to do it. It's up to us to notice the trees around our houses, and provide water, at times like this. The little bit of rain we got last week was far short of sufficient to meet the needs of our smaller, shallower-rooted street trees.
