This is the third year in a row that tree mortality levels have declined statewide, down from a high of 54 million dead trees recorded in 2016. Rainfall in 2020 totaled at only 70% statewide, nearly half as much as 2019’s 135% of average making 2020 the 13th driest on record since 1895. Based off of the PDSI (Palmer Drought Severity Index) for California, every zone aside from the “South Coast” zone ranks up to -2.0 which is mild drought. In the South Coast zone, we received some reprieve where we were a -5.0 (extreme drought) in 2018, we’ve now come back to ranking of 1.0 (slightly wet). Wildfires caused the greatest negative impacts on forest health in California in 2020 with over 4.3 million acres burned! This marked 2020 as the worst wildfire year on record for our state. In fact 3 of the 5 worst fire seasons have occurred in the last 5 years. With great knowledge comes great responsibility! Now that we know the impact that the environment has on our surroundings, it’s important that we work together to conserve water, and remove dead and dying trees and brush. Check with your local communities to find out how you can do your part. Sycamores are deciduous trees that can measure up to 98 to 130 feet in height and 5 to 6.6 feet in diameter! Although sycamores can be found all around the world, they actually originate from Europe. You can spot a sycamore from their five-lobed leaves with pointed tips and toothed edges. At the beginning of autumn, their dark green leaves trans- form into this marvelous yellow. Their bark has been known to raise quite a few alarms with its mottled bark that “flakes”, making the impression that the tree is suffering from some illness. Hence the name “sycamore”, which in other terms, means “sick”. This however, is quite natural! Protect your pines from bark beetle! Tree of the Month The State of our State
