After a drought, both pines and broadleaf trees may fail—pines often snap at weak points, while broadleaf trees are uprooted. Contrary to popular belief, few trees develop deep taproots; most roots stay within the top 20 inches where oxygen is available. Prolonged dry weather kills feeder and anchor roots, leaving trees unstable. When rain returns, the weakened root systems can’t hold the saturated canopy, leading to failure.
