Video Offers Tree Watering Tips
The statewide drought in California has had a negative impact on Southern California’s trees. The ongoing drought conditions have placed many of local street, park and private landscape trees in a state of environmental stress, making them more susceptible to attack from pests and diseases. The City of Glendale has produced a video to assist residents with proper tree watering techniques to maintain the community forest.
