Even with all the rain we have received this year, our trees may be suffering from drought. Join us to learn what we can do to help our trees through that tough time when no water falls from the sky.

Something as simple as properly mulching you tree (http://tfsweb.tamu.edu/uploadedFiles/TFS_Main/Urban_and_Community_Forestry/About_Urban_and_Community_Forestry/Urban_Forest_Information_Sheets/How%20do%20I%20care%20for%20my%20Tree%20-%20Mulching%20your%20%20tree.pdf) could help your tree survive our long, hot and dry summers.

Our tree of the week is the former champion Rio Grande cottonwood. You can find other Texas champions on our Big Tree Registry. http://tfsweb.tamu.edu/uploadedFiles/TFSMain/Learn_and_Explore/Conservation_Education_Resources(5)/rptBTR-NativeNaturalized_5-15.pdf
