Head Back Tall Trees
Before Hurricanes Hit

Shade trees can be storm
proofea before hurricanes or au-
tumn storms strike. This viii lessen
the danger of trees being shattered
broken or blown down.
It's a safety measure as well
Storm-proofing may prevent limt
or the tree itself from crushing
onto a house, auto or pedestrian
or tearing down utility wires with
resultant power or telephone black
outs.
This is what to do, according tC
Don Cantwell, Area Manager OF
the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.:
Head back tall trees. BY correc-
tive pruning an average mature
shane tree can be reduced 10 to 15
feet in height without any loss OF
beauty. The entire tree can be
shaped to its natural character and
symmetry even though reduced in
size. This will make the tree stur-
dier.
Thin out crown of trees so winds
can pass through them easily.
Many trees grow ont of bounds be-
fore owners realize it.
Raise the lower branches OF
decidious trees. Remove the lower
limbs at least 10 feet from the
ground. This will permit better
circulation of air beneath a tree.
Prune out hazardous branches
that extend over houses, garages,
utility wires, sidewalks, and streets.
Long slender branches are a men,
ace TO safety.
Prune and burn all dead and
diseased wood.
Cable and brace weak crotches
and limbs.
Anchor newly transplanted trees
with guy wires.
Feed all trees to promote better
anchorage or root systems. Placing
a weII-balanced tree food in holes
Is to Is inches deep, three feet
apart bginning about four feet
from the trunk and extending to
we'll beyond the branch spread
win encourage roots to grow down
ward. Feeding also promote tree
vigor.
Bleeder Trees Need Pruning In Fall
"Bleeder" trees are those which
bleed or loss sap profusely when
pruned during the dormant season
Prune them in the fall and there
will be no loss of sap, according to
Don Cantwell, Area Manager OF
the Bartlett Tree Experts. Naples
birches, walnuts and the yellow
wood are the worst bleeders. The
