HOLLY TREES
Very few of the holly trees that were planted recently for Arbor Day have survived. Joe Laforest has discussed the situation with David Cleveland of Cleveland Tree Company and the trees will be replaced with another holly variety. Due to scheduling conflicts the week of May 11th will be the first available time to replace the dead trees. However this may be getting too warm to plant so may have to wait until next spring. Next year the recommendation is to only transplant trees that are in containers.
DAVEY TREE INVENTORY
The Davey Tree electronic inventory has not been updated to show locations for trees planted during Arbor Day or trees that have been recently removed.
