It's the first day of meteorological summer and perhaps you've noticed that Mother Nature is right in step, delivering warm, dry temperatures. Residents are reminded and encouraged to water their parkway trees.
If your tree looks thirsty, try deep watering with a garden hose once a week; allow the hose to run slowly at the drip line of the tree, moving it around occasionally.
