A tree is a significant investment. Bryan Lowrance will review the basics of planting, exposing the root collar and maintaining for longevity (no volcano mulch!). He will also speak of the potential connection between neonics, other pesticides, mosquito treatments and the loss of beneficial insects that help our trees.
An informal group independent of Duke Gardens, the forum meets once a month to enrich its members' gardening knowledge and skill. Sponsored in partnership with N.C. Cooperative Extension: Durham County Center.
Guest speaker: Bryan Lowrance, horticulturist and arborist, and assistant local manager at Bartlett Tree Experts in Raleigh
