[Arid_gardener] Palo verde, brown bark

[Linda Drew]

Others on this list are better qualified to answer this question
and will respond as well.

My first question would be whether anyone pruned this tree last
summer? Pruning can expose branches to direct sun and kill the
living tissue from 'sun scorch'.

If you can, please take a sample to your nearest Cooperative
Extension office for better information. (Check in the phone
book under county listings for locations).
