Care for newly-planted shade trees
C areful trea tm en t of
newly-planted shade trees
w ill pay off in the years
ahead, according to Ray
M cN eilan,
Home
H or
ticulture Extension Agent.
Too often, trees are planted
without much thought or
planning, and then are
staked and tied tightly so
they have little chance of
success
One of the most common
mistakes is placing a new
tree in the middle of the
lawn. Immediately you have
developed a conflict between
yo ur lawn weed k illin g
practices and the .roots of
your new tree. Dicamba, an
excellent lawn weed killer, is
a soil-active chemical which
can be taken up by tree and
shrub roots, and can k ill the
young plant.
“ Step num ber one in
protecting the newly planted
tree is to change your weed
control practices,” McNeilan
said.
The
second
serious
problem is the common
a ilm e n t
“ lawn
mower
ca n k e r.” Scars on the
truck from contact with lawn
m ow ing equipm ent can
disfigure, deform and even
k ill a tree in severe cases If
a tree is planted in a lawn
area, remove the grass for
several feet around the
trunk
This won’t quarantee an
end to lawn mower canker
but it w ill minimize the
chances for tree and mower
contact, McNeilan said
The agent’s final tip for
protecting the young tree is
to stake it loosely enough to
allow it to move with the
wind “ Tree trunks need to
bend and sway with the wind
A shade tree can be a
durable part of the land
scape,” McNeilan said, “ but
the length of its life depends
on your care and careful
planning ”
to grow a strong, tapered
trunk,” he said “ Tight
staking
prevents
the
necessary movement. When
the tree stake rots or breaks,
the tree falls over ”
‘Routine’ jump a tragedy
ESTACADA — It was
going to be just another
routine parachute jump for
Dick Phelps when he took off
with friend and pilot Ralph
Hatley from the Estacada
airfield Saturday afternoon
Instead, it turried into
tragedy.
Hatley took the plane up to
5,500 feet over Estacada,
where Phelps, a veteran of
plunged to his death into the
Shady Oaks A ir Park.
Phelps left two children,
Erin, 8 and Richard 4, as
survivors But also feeling
the loss were his fellow
skydivers
more than 600 jumps, leaped
out.
Hatley watched Phelps
make his count and pull the
ripcord. His main parachute
was slow to open, so he pulled
out the reserve chute.
The two parachutes en
tangled, and prevented each
other from opening Phelps
“ We were friends since
1964, when I first taught Dick
to jum p,” recalled Hatley.
