Bartlett Park District
Hats off to Bartlett Park District for really "Going Green" and preserving 43 Ash Trees! There were some fantastic trees here they wanted to preserve. Leiseberg Park has a remarkable stand of Green Ash that surround the Lake that will now stand for many more years. Their Aquatic Center will still have a few shady spots to get out of the hot summer sun. But most impressive are the two memorial trees that will continue to thrive. First is the 9/11 tree in Bartlett Park downtown. This White Ash memorializes those who died in the 9/11 attack. Fire fighter's park hosts another nice White Ash planted for fallen Firefighters. It was truly an honor to preserve these for future generations. Thank you Jon Carlson and Pete Pratt from Bartlett Park District! (mouse over the picuture to see a close up of the 9/11 memorial)

EAB Update
Many of you have been wondering if we will need to treat your Ash trees earlier this year. As soon as the Ash trees fully leaf out, and uptake is strong, we will be out treating trees. As usual we can't wait for leaf out to unveil some tremendous success stories with your Ash trees.

PHC Alerts
Keep in mind that Pine and Spruce trees, and all evergreens are under tremendous stress to begin this year. These trees desiccate year round, and with warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low soil moisture, we believe these trees are under stress already. Root feeding and proper watering will be more important than ever this season.
Fungicides are now complete on Crab Apples and Hawthorns, as well as the first insecticide spray for Pine Moth. In the coming weeks, we will be spraying fungicides on Pine and Spruce for fungal diseases such as Diplodia Tip Blight and Rhizospheara Needle Cast.
