Looking at my yard, I expect to lose some trees and shrubs. I'm currently watering the contorta willow and the rowan tree, in hopes of salvaging those. But I won't be surprised if they die anyhow, and there are other things turning brown too. When I replant, I will probably choose different species. There's no point trying to grow something that can't withstand whatever the local conditions now are. I'll discount things that were newly planted, though, and only count established plants as drought vulnerable.

Hubby's been griping about our lawn for a couple of years now, so I thought that as long as I was going to do something, I'd better make sure it was drought-proof.
They have several different types of lawn grass to choose from and lots of drought-resistant garden plants. Here's the website if you'd like to take a look.
