DTP (dead tree project) #2

This is (was) my neighbor's citrus tree. It was grafted to produce oranges, lemon, and lime on the same tree. Such a cool tree, now deceased. I, too, lost my wonderful lemon tree this year.

This is an installment of my Dead Tree Project, documenting the effects on local vegetation after 54 days above 115F (46.1C) degrees this summer.

Oh how sad is that, it still has so much fruit on it.

Oh... and it's loaded!

what killed it while in the middle of fruiting?

[Krista Marson]

@koalagardens Too much heat for too long. Unrelenting nighttime temps are the real culprit.

Sad view. Unfortunately, this is also a common sight here.

Only the toughest of plants could survive that :(
