bur oaks

If you’ve been along Arroyo Seco since Saturday, February 6th, you may have noticed 17 new tree saplings planted along the block between St.

Johns and Cullen. The 17 trees include Bur Oaks, Cedar Elms, Mountain Laurels, and other types of oaks. Why plant such small trees?

Several reasons, including they are easier to plant, establish on a slope easier, require less water per tree per volunteer, and these were trees donated by Crestview neighborhood gardeners to keep the project cost low.

Besides, we have it on good authority that little trees become big trees in time!
