scorched/or burned spots. I think half of it is dead and not dormant since it started looking this way before the end of the season. I'm in Dallas, TX, and we had a pretty bad winter in 2011, and a very hot summer (this area is in a drought). I watered at least two times per week for about an 1 1/2 hours each time, but it didn't do any good at all. I also saw quite a few small green grasshoppers this past summer.
