Drought Affecting Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Ongoing drought conditions (including a lack of winter rain) have started to affect the collections of the Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Perth, Australia. Thirty year old sheoaks, banksias and eucalypts are succumbing to the dry conditions, causing losses in the range of ten to twelve percent of the collections (so far).
