Tree Selection for Drought Resistance

A fact of life in the Southeast is the mid-summer drought. In recent years drought periods have ventured into spring and fall. Drought has damaged many trees and landscapes. One means of drought-proofing your landscape is selection of drought resistant plants. No landscape can be made completely free of drought problems even under intensive irrigation. With more water shortages and drought periods ahead, planting trees and other plants that are drought resistant can be beneficial.
