Globe Willow Leaf Drop in West Texas: Drought Response

Willows Need Water—Lots of It

Globe willow dropping leaves in June during hot, dry, windy weather is a drought survival tactic. Arizona ash tolerates drought better.

Rescue Watering

• 1 in. water every 4 days (pan method).
• Mulch 3 in. deep to dripline.
• Continue until rains return.

Tree is alive; it will re-leaf when moisture is consistent.
