Our October General Meeting was held October 10th at the Community Center. Our speaker was Carol Fraser with the Bear Creek Extension Service, and she spoke on “Help with Trees” Did you know that a tree was planted at the same time as the Declaration of Independence was signed, it is called the Liberty Elm? She also told us that trees should be watered at the "drip" line of the branches, as this is the natural watering system for the tree, not at the trunk of the tree. She also said that 5:am to sunrise is the best time to water. Remember not to leave any broken branches on your trees! Be sure to trim them, however, in a drought, only trim when absolutely necessary.
