Michelle LeStrange, Farm Advisor in Tulare and Kings County, has just completed the updating of the Tree Care Cards for you to use as a tool to help educate gardeners about the proper methods of caring for trees.  Your coordinator can now order a supply at no charge (though future orders will require a shipping fee). There are eight titles available, and they will also be in Spanish in the very near future.  The titles include:

1.  Quality Tree Selection
2. Trees and Utilities
3.  Tree Selection
4.  Tree Planting
5.  Tree Staking
6.  Pest and Diseases of Trees
7.  Training Young Trees
8.  Pruning Mature Trees

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Tree Care Cards, they are the same dimensions as the UCIPM Quick Tip Cards. 

We are very excited that these new cards will be available soon to help support your outreach programs in Landscape Tree Care.  While many gardeners are now focusing their efforts on vegetable and fruit tree gardening, landscape trees and urban forestry are vitally important in terms of moderating climate and improving our daily lives and that of our community.
