Kris -
Ja Pomero called me this a.m. re the pines that I
recommended as additional screenin in the south berm area b the
SAHS stadium. The landscaper he talked to said there was some kind
of problem with di and transplantin lar pine this time of
y ear. I am not aware of such an issue, particularl if the trees are
mulched and re watered after plantin and for the next y ear.
The su plantin additional spruce in that area, which I do
not think would be a g ood idea. There are alread insect and disease
problems with the existin spruce, and I think some species diversit
would minimize future health problems for those plantin I
su that he call other landscape companies to obtain pines.
Could those trees be planted next sprin if the cannot obtain them
now? It would certainl be preferable to plantin more spruce. Let
me know what the possibilities are re- the development contract and
timeline. Thanks.
