Reminder to Water the Trees
Residents are reminded and encouraged to water their trees. Water is essential during the growing season (April-October), especially in hot, dry periods over the summer. If your tree looks thirsty, try deep watering with a garden hose once a week; allow the hose to run slowly at the drip line of the tree, moving it around occasionally.
Refer to these Tree and Plant Care Tips for more information.
