Does a palm tree have rings? Does a cactus have rings? What bdoes a Anaheim  tree's ring show after 5 dry years? Cool nights are creating yellow leaves ready to fall.I don;t see any orange trees. I will look for them. TreBert

Neither palm trees nor cactus have rings.

As all the trees in Anaheim are landscaping, they are irrigated and don't
rely on rain for water; there are no forests in Anaheim.

All of Anaheim used to be orange groves or farms of some kind, now the
only orange trees are in back yards.

The remaining citrus groves are NOT in urban areas; look in the remaining
farming areas to the south.
