SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – While the Ozarks landscape is usually lush with summer trees and foliage, this summer has been a different story. Many bushes and trees appear to be dead.
“There’s a lot of concern about what’s happening with the trees and the landscapes,” explained University of Missouri’s Horticulture Specialist Robert Balek.
Balek said we can blame it all on the weather.
“This situation is abnormal really. We’ve had a double-whammy you might say, of a long-term drought and a flash freeze in December,” said Balek.
