Dry Spell Means Residents Should Water Trees
With such little rain lately, the Oak Creek forestry department says residents should give their trees some water.
Oak Creek City Forester Rebecca Lane is reminding residents to water their trees in this current dry spell.
The forestry department recommends watering twice a week in these types of conditions, Lane said. Depending on the tree size, between 10 and 20 gallons of water should be used each time.
It's especially critical to water young plants and trees, Lane said.
