SUMMARY: The future of a leaning pecan tree named Flo in Barton Springs, Austin is uncertain as the city is seeking input from residents on what to do next. The tree suffers from a fungus called brittle cinder fungus, which degrades its wood and causes collapse. Dr. David Appel, a professor at Texas A&M University, stated that there is no treatment to save the tree, and it will eventually fall or need to be removed. Due to its location and public safety concerns, Dr. Appel recommends removing the tree. The city has placed supports and warnings around the tree, but future plans for Flo are unknown.

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court is concluding its term unusually late, meeting into early July, with a highly anticipated decision pending. The case concerns whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This case was argued on April 25, and its delayed resolution impacts the potential for Trump to stand trial before the November election. The timing of the court’s decision is crucial, as the delay means Trump is unlikely to face trial before the election, regardless of the ruling’s outcome. (© 2024 The Associated Press.
