From Nickey Bishop, the Tree Tender --
I go out every day to visit my clients and their trees. I can assure you that the trees are experiencing so much stress from the heat and the drought that they are dying. We have already lost thousands upon thousands of trees. The little plants are dying by the billions. There is no relief in sight.
Please, water your trees. If you have not done so already, please read the article I wrote and posted at: http://www.thetreetender.com/Watering%20Trees.html . If the trees do not get some water they will perish. If you think water costs a lot, think of your property without trees. Then think of the expense for removing dangerous dead trees. Next, how about the reduced value of your property. Water costs money, but it is the least expensive way to deal with this problem.
You do not need to fully hydrate your trees. You need mostly to save their lives. This can be done by getting some water to them even if it is not enough to replenish their moisture needs. The article I wrote may need some improvement, and I will improve it, but I am too busy right now to do that. So, call me if you have questions. Spread the word. The trees are in trouble. Water is being rationed right now, but we can still save some of the trees.
Please, observe the restrictions in your area for water use. As far as I know you can still water directly with the hose. That is the best way to water a tree anyway. If you follow the instructions from my website, http://thetreetender.com/, you can save your trees with minimal amounts of water.
The poor plant kingdom is really suffering this brutal weather. It bothers me deeply. I am attuned to the plants and I am terribly saddened. Knowing the positive aspects of this situation does not help me. This message is my way of helping the plants and myself.
Sincerely,
Nickey Bishop
