So they didn't stake that field of Bald Cypress?! They'll all be blown at whatever angles in a good thunderstorm.

Trees need watering. They're not doing so well in this heat.

Come to Riverside and take the water bags off of all the trees that have been planted around here.  Neither Davis or the City is filling them anyway so no harm will be done.

Pray for rain!

Trees must go on sale in the summer, seems like every new tree planted in Springfield is always in the middle of summer, when everyone knows this is the worst time to plant trees.

Yeah, the crape myrtles that were planed all through the neighborhood arent doing to well, at least on my side. If they would have put one in front of my house I would at least water it. Some people just let them die.

It was a hot day and my body was grateful for a cold shower afterward but you can accomplish a lot with a bunch of determined sweaty people.

Bad time of year to be planting trees about 4 months too late.  Be surprised if any survive

This should've been done in March, at the latest.

Is there water available?  Can someone water them once or twice a week until the rains come again?
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Just pump the water out of the pond?  I wish they would plant some tall washington palms.

Did a landscape architect help plan the planting of these trees out?  I hope so.

Wahington's aren't native to Florida.  Plant Sables, the State Tree!

They are WAY over-planted as it is.

Sables are fugly.  Washington palms remind me of Cali when they tower over you.

Sable is beautiful!  (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.)  LOL!

Tough native plant that survives hurricanes and drought while providing berries for the birds and nests for the doves (and palmetto bugs and rats).

Henry Flagler loved Washies! he planted them all the around the Jacksonville Terminal, I think only a one or two may still exsist today.
