Drought might not kill your established trees, but it is still a major stressor that leaves the tree more susceptible to harmful pests, pathogens, etc. This can lead to decline that may be irreversible. It probably won't even be immediate. Could be 5 years down the road or more. Gotta take care of your trees, and by the time Joe Blow notices his tree is in trouble it is often too late.
