[Neighbors] Climate change impacting Nob Hill...Watering Trees

[Gary & Melodie Eyster via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

You’re right, Maria. Whenever I water our trees I think about what our water utility authority says: Trees, while they do require water to survive, actually aid conservation by providing shade and reducing water loss to evaporation, not to mention the many other environmental benefits they bring to our community.  

 

They go on to tell about “Tree-Bates” at their site  <http://www.abcwua.org/Outdoor_Rebates.aspx> http://www.abcwua.org/Outdoor_Rebates.aspx

 

¡Viva Nob Hill! Gary

We’re doing our best. Drought tolerant best. Also need to be mindful of water use.

Thank you for the great point, Bob. Many trees will die if not watered in
weather like we are having.

For more info on watering trees I would draw the attention of neighbors to
page 17 of the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association Spring Newsletter at
http://www.nobhill-nm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Spring2018-Final.pdf

For info on recommended new trees see page 13.

¡Let's protect our trees! Gary

As I drive around I notice a lot of stress on our old tall pine trees, many
are dying from lack of water it seems.  Lots of brown pine needles.

This is going to greatly change the appearance of our community in a few
years, and make us hotter.  We need some strategy for the coming climate
change.

Maybe the neighborhood can alert tree owners to step up watering and plant
new ones to replace the dying ones.  Maybe there are some more tolerant of
drought?

Bob
