Caretaker's note: 2008 is a year of extreme to exceptional drought in Central Texas. Supplemental watering helps to keep last years new plantings alive. All new plantings are native species that are selected to be drought tolerant, but it does take a few years for new plants to become established to withstand harsh drought conditions. There were no new plantings this year due to the drought. To conserve water, it is advised to water early in the morning or late in the day.
