"I think you would be better served by returning the dead material and seeing if you can get replacements. I'm sure you know that azaleas like it acidic and well-drained. Also, be sure you are not planting too deeply or the material itself…"

- Latest planting story... Well, I got a group of Duke students to help out on a grounds day at my daughters' school last fall and planted a few very small beech seedlings around the perimeter fence. While I was instructing the planting volunteers I handed the keys to my '85 toyota mulch truck to a capable-looking youm man who insited he could operate a manual transmission. The smell of burnt clutch wafting across the field was the first indication that he was not being entirely truthful. The trees are still OK.

I could have stood around and said, "Yep, they're doing the work described in their grant narrative." But I hate that - just watching a small group work when I am perfectly able to pitch in and help accomplish the task at hand. So I helped cut out some Eleagnus and got a better sense of what was being done with the grant funds.

Thanks. I used to be a B&B grower but stopped field planting about 10 years ago when I got my landscape contractor's license. Now I buy in most of my plant material but grow a few perennials and unusual woodies.

That would result in a drastic decrease in our urban canopy cover. We simply cannot allow these insurers to create such a detrimental impact by placing their profits before the sustainability of our cities and towns!

- Thanks Alex. I think this will be a very effective way for us to network and share valuable and interesting tree info.
