As drought conditions worsen, LA’s trees feel the heat
On a recent Monday morning, Nick Araya was standing beneath an exhausted-looking jacaranda tree in the East Los Angeles neighborhood of Montecito Heights. It was just after 8 a.m., and the sun was already blazing. Araya is a master arborist and the owner of TreeCare LA, a company that services trees around the city. As the drought continues to wreak havoc on California, trees are under stress. Araya and his team were outside a family house to cut down the dead jacaranda and perform some damage control on a coast live oak.
