Some of our trees are looking mighty ragged after several years of drought. That's to be expected.

Redwood expertAnthony Ambroseat the University of California-Berkeley points out that the biggest redwoods need up to 2000 liters of water A DAY to survive, and drought and climate change will challenge that intake.
He joins us with his observations and outlook.
