Commission seeks aid with tree care The Glen Rock Shade Tree Advisory Committee is seeking residents’ assistance with the watering of its newly planted trees. With record-high temperatures and scant rainfall, the commission is requesting borough residents to water these new plantings throughout the summer and fall. The commission offers the following tips: Trees need 15 to 20 gallons of water per week, especially young trees planted in the past three years. Trees should be watered slowly, as the water needs to penetrate the soil rather than run off the surface soil. A mulch donut may be built around the tree’s base to capture and hold water. Do not waste time watering a tree’s branches and leaves; the tree’s root system that needs the water most. For more information about watering trees, or to request a free tree, contact the department of public works at (201) 670-3980 or e-mail GlenRockTreeTrust@gmail. com. Forms may be obtained online at www.glenrocknj. net/departments on the Shade Tree Advisory Committee page.
