Cacti shriveled, thinner in Pima County, Arizona
1/17/2018 12:00:00 AM



CATEGORIES:
Plants & Wildlife
AFFECTED AREAS:
Pima County, AZ

Start Date: 1/15/2018 -  
Still very dry with above average temps and lots of wind the past few days, which dries out even irrigated plants more quickly. Prickly pear cacti look most stressed, grass is very brown. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Green Valley 3.9 NE on 1/30/2018 Some desert cacti are starting to look shriveled and are definitely thinner. Getting early blooms on some desert plants because of the above-average temps. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Green Valley 3.9 NE on 1/15/2018
