Web Site Review
“Training Young Trees for Structure and Form/Wildland Fire: How Can We Live With It?” is a web video. This instructional program provides a 5-step approach to training young landscape trees. A neat video on this topic, it does require a high speed connection to work. You can view it via Google Video at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5516859053813831183&q=pruning+trees&pr=goog-sl&hl=en.

Ice Storm 2006 The soft rustling of ice rain swept over us. Branches bowed down Through the night the soft rustling of sleet Emerging from blanket foxholes |
By night we huddled by our fires, Across the pond a grove of maple chandeliers Repair trucks by the hundreds We curse your beauty, wretched storm! - Robert Charles Howard (Editors Note: I thought the poem was timely for us, even though the poem title states 2006) |
