Next Walkthrough Friday, Sept. 24 at 9:30am
The monthly landscape walk-thru will be Friday Sept 24 at 9:30am. We will meet at the front gate as usual.
This month I would like to focus on the maintenance of the Arbutus(aka Strawberry tree) and nandina. The arbutus are the large shrubs with red fleshy fruit. Unfortunately in many cases this shrub has been planted too close to walkways where the fruit becomes a mushy mess as people walk on them. I want to look at pruning options to minimize the mess. The common name for nandina is heavenly bamboo. This shrub is not a true bamboo, but a member of the barberry family. Many of these plants are old and hopefully some pruning will rejuvenate them.
If you have any specific landscape items that you feel need attention, please post a comment here.
