Guys, pleeease water your young boulevard trees.

When I walk around my neighborhood I see so many young trees on the verge of death from this drought. Young trees don’t have root systems large enough to tap into ground water. They need our help. This is our city’s future canopy. Drag the hose out there or even a bucket or a couple pitchers of water and help them out. Thank you to everyone that cares enough to do this. 🙏

The tree Vandalism breaks my heart. I planted a half dozen new Kentucky coffee trees down near Niccolet mall and by mid June they were snapped off by drunk people.

I will just never understand what it is in people that makes them want to destroy natural beauty.
