Plus, the California native of the week.
I recently received photos of some redwood trees in Riverside that looked like they were struck by lightning. Foliage at the top of the trees was gone and what remained further down was ragged. The reader wanted to know what could be done to save these trees.
I assume these trees are suffering from the scorching heat and drought of recent years. My first thought was to water the trees with a root irrigator. This device is a perforated metal rod with a pointed tip that is plunged into the ground. You attach a hose to the top of the rod and water flows down and out through the perforations. You move the irrigator around the tree, soaking each area as you go, so that the entire root zone is saturated.
I expressed my hope to the redwood caretaker that a string trimmer or weed eater/wacker was not being used to trim the grass around the tree trunks. Those who use this power tool carelessly will allow its whirring plastic string to slice into the bark at the base of the trunk, cutting into the xylem vessels through which water moves up the tree.
