Replacement Trees go in on Wilson Ave.

A neighbor just stopped in and told me that the City has replanted trees on Wilson Avenue to replace the ash trees they cut down earlier this year (see our blog for January of this year...). The City has planted a variety of trees along the avenue, following its new plan for replacement trees, that should help in preventing disease decimating whole neighborhoods...

In an effort to slow down the spread of emerald ash borer, all the trees along a three - four block stretch of streets such as Wilson were removed. The City then removed the stumps and prepared the sites for replanting.

Now that these new trees are in, it is important that residents keep them well-watered throughout this year and whenever there are dry, or drought conditions. Watering them well throughout the summer and in the late fall will help make sure that they survive and flourish.
