The owner of a pecan orchard in Seguin was inspecting his trees and was worried after finding 59 mature trees that died after a hot, dry summer. Thirty-eight trees younger than five years old have also died. The orchard owner has some limited irrigation capability, but the trees needed more water and relief from the intense heat.
