Most died off during winter cold snaps or droughts. In particular the five-year drought in the late '80s, followed by the 1990 record lows, one of the most damaging freezes on record. The state decided not to replace them. In some parts of the state near the coast you'll still see the South African native along the highway and in people's yards.
