Air in a tree's vascular system is just as deadly as air in a human's vascular system, although it takes longer to kill. It prevents water and nutrients from getting to the various parts of the tree. I suspect this is why we had an increased number of tree deaths a year or two after the end o our big history-making drought a few years ago.

7/7/2013 7:00 AM 0.27 M M M M Have you noticed the unusual weather pattern over Alabama lately? According to the maps on the weather station, there has been for 3-4 days a band of clouds and rain the width of the state flowing almost due south to north, bringing moisture out of the Gulf of Mexico. When I first noticed the band, it was over the eastern seaboard. It drifted westward and stalled out over us. This morning, it had developed into a more normal SW to NE tending band drifting SE. I think we shall be out from under it later today. The announcer said there was a high east of us (clockwise) and a low west of us (counterclockwise), and the northward flowing band was between the two. I have never seen anything like it. Someone tell me, is this related to the "pineapple express" phenomenon on the west coast?

Had a dead wild cherry tree taken down this week. I read that during a drought, trees "suck air", and "air embolism" can be as deadly to a tree as to a human, but it takes longer to kill. I suspect the increased number of dead trees since the drought a few years ago are due to this mechanism. There is also a dead pin oak across the street.
