Fruit Trees survive the summer drought

Cute little thing isn't it?

Looks like the trees survived the complete lack of rain this year, so now we're in the true home stretch to see if they can survive the winter. Hopefully this winter will be nice a moist - instead of a cold and dry disaster.

The pecan tree is perhaps the most interesting one this year. Totally refused to leaf out this year or do anything - but remarkably it's still alive. Don't know if it knew there would be no water this year, or whether it's just high maintenance - but hopefully it will do something come Spring.
