Over the Back Fence

he Texas umbrella tree, which
thrives on heat, is not good for
more than about ten or twelve
years, then it begins to decay and
fall apart.
This is not to discourage the
planting of deciduous trees about
our homes. There is a place in our
landscaping for the deciduous tree
which the evergreen cannot fill.
1t is the place where you want a
dense shade in the summer time
and all the sunshine you can get
in the winter. But let's keep our
deciduous trees pretty much in the
backgrounds; and when We plant
them let's do it with our eyes open,
knowing that, as the ancient proph-
ct said of man, it sis of but a few
days and full of trouble
If you are planting deciduous
trees this spring they will probably
be bare root stock, and they should
be planted within the next two
weeks. After the buds have begun
to swell it is too late for the best
results. Nurserymen, who have
trees to sell, may tell you differ
emily, but remember - they have
trees to sell.

By FRED AMES

To those whose earlier years
were spent East of the Rockies,
there is nothing in the California
landscape which quite compares to
the remembered majesty of the
rows of elnls and NAPLES which line
the streets of many eastern cities
A good many of us indulge in
wishful thinking to the extent that
we convince ourselves We can grow
those trees successfully here; but
when we make the experiment the
result is usually great deal of
fruitless labor, and disappointment
in the end.
do not believe that many vari-
eties of deciduous trees will ever be
successfully grown in the Imperial
Valley. The deciduous tree is so
constituted that it requires
lengthy period of rest each year if
it is to survive and flourish. The
signal which nature gives for that
rest period to begin, is when the
first frosts come in the fall of the
year.
When that signal is given the
sap ceases to flow upward through
the limbs and branches of the tree;
the leaves deprived of their neces-
sary sustenance turn red and yell
low and fall to the ground; the
Cfn
animation, it becomes dormant. In
the springtime when the sun comes
back from his long trip south, and
begins once more to warm the earth
with his life giving rays, the decidu-
Gus tree awakens from his long
sleep. The sap once more begins
to circulate; the tree bursts into
bud; the normal processes of life
and growth are resumed.
The dormant period OF deciduous
trees in their native habitat is usu-
ally about six or seven months. In
the Imperial Valley they are for
tunate if they get a rest period half
that long, and say fortunate ad-
visedly, because every day subtract
ed from the normal rest period of
deciduous tree, must be paid for in
reduced vitality and shortened life
span.
And so we have another reason,
a very good reason, for not plant
ing deciduous trees in our street
