FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Plant Trees
On Arbor Day
Arbor Day coming up Jan.
21 signals the time for Texans
to beautify home landscapes
and communities by planting
trees.
“Trees have long been
appreciated for their beauty
and by-products such as
lumber and cooling shade.
But trees have proved they
are worth much more,” says
Everett Janne, a landscape
horticulturist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service. “Majestic oaks,
pecans, cedars, pines and elms
are being used to combat
noise and air pollution and as
protection from erosion.
“Our ancestors realized the
permanent beauty of trees
and their value to each
coming generation. Such a
thought should be kept in
mind when planting a tree
this Arbor Day,” says the
Texas A&M University
System specialist.
The tree to be planted’
should be selected for the
climate and soil of the area,
emphasizes Janne.
“Arbor Day comes at
prime planting time for trees,
when cool, moist soil, allows
roots to become established
before top growth begins.
This enhances the chances of
successful permanent
plantings of oak, cedar, bald
cypress, Deodar cedar and
similar species,” adds the
horticulturist.
