Dropping leaves is often a sign of change of location. I see nothing obviously wrong here. Could it be just dropping of last years leaves?

It rained pretty well Thursday last week and I forgot to water until late afternoon, when several trees had wilting new growth. They came back quickly, but the lesson is obvious.

Anything like that you have to interpret the book's location and your location, and lots of other factors.
Around here we have these huge roaches called Florida Carpet Beetles, about three-four inches long - yes, up to 10 cm. During dry times they come out at night and look for water. My trees are close to the house, and watering the trees after sunset calls the bugs. No watering even close to sundown.

About the only time I get to water is in the evening, so you have to plan ahead. How hot did the meteorologist, say it will be?

June will be highs of 90 to 95F, 32 to 35C. Later in the summer it will be hot, 100 or 105, 37 or 40. Nights now will be comfortable, later lows will be 90/32. We were in Rome once talking with an American expat, and the weather here is pretty similar.Spot Beagle wrote: We use to have something like that, then these huge huntsman spiders showed up. No more big bugs.
