Harry re: I had heard of the rationing on the news. It is unfortunate you got caught up in it, but I don't think you can blame Whitman for doing what she had to do to conserve water.

Oh, I'm not blaming Whitman, but I think it was kind of silly putting the State of NJ on water emergency when the problem was the Delaware River. At the height of it the water level was never more than 10' below grade where I live.

You also must have sandy or rocky soil which doesn't hold water well, because trees with their deep roots can survive longer than most plants.

Yes, I have sandy soil for the top 4 feet. The trees that got hit were poplars -- about 20 years old, 70' tall, 2' thick. Good morning and afternoon shade trees, but roots that follow the surface.

All of my other trees did fine -- even the Willows which need lots of water but put down deep roots.
