Dear Neighbors, We are in for another hot spell. Water your street trees and your yard trees, especially if they are 3 years old or less.

Trees throughout the city are wilting and dropping leaves. *Trees planted in the past few years need to be watered 30 to 40 gallons per week or about 1 inch of rainfall.* If you can, water any trees that are nearby--not just the ones near your home! So many trees are stressed out from the lack of rain. *How to Water* Water slowly and deeply--do not turn the hose on full blast. You can use a 5 gallon bucket with holes in the bottom to slowly water, turn your hose on a slow stream and place it in the tree pit, or use a gator bag like the one you see in the photo. *Want to buy a gator bag like the one shown here?* Tree Pittsburgh has a few available for $25, and you can pick them up at our office starting on Monday, between 9am and 5pm. Gator bags hold about 15 gallons of water and zip around the base of a tree. When full, the water seeps out slowly into the ground.
