The waiting game is over. Last Thursday, biologist Robert Edmonson looked at our Blanco crabapple and possumhaw, then said they both were likely dead. The crabapple might come back from the roots, he added.
Two days ago, I heard the chain saw. It was the easiest way to cut them down. (He suffered many scratches from the thorned crabapple).
Yes, I'm sad. We bought the crabapple tree in March 2013 from Natives of Texas for my birthday. And in September 2015, we bought the possumhaw from Medina Friendly Natives. They were both well established. But then, we had several years of drought and other rough weather. On a happier note, our Texas madrone is doing well!
