The first year I have seen distress in the Poplar trees, I think they are called Aspen or Cotton wood in the US. The fir trees have long been showing distress, Spruce trees the last couple years, now the Poplar. It it not so much the lower rainfall but it's irregular nature. Spring rains don't come anymore, it is not unusual to only get a misting of water until mid June when some amount can be measured by the inch. There was a time when April showers were a thing, now a memory. Now my planting of trees is to the lower parts of the property that can collect the snow melt run off.
