[CANUFNET] Planting door hangers

[Naomi Zurcher via CANUFNET]

Hi Mark:

Forgive me if my comment is incorrect but the picture in the door hanger looks like a mulch volcano - no matter how much I enlarged, you can't see the root flare. Since you correctly asked people to not mound anything around the base of the tree, shouldn't the picture reflect the correct installation of mulch? We always constructed donuts but from this picture, the mounds do not look as if there is a depression in the middle and a clear zone around the buttress area.

Thanks - no offense.

As our planting is now contracted out for the most part, we have them fill in the species at the time of planting and leave it at the adjacent home. We found that without the door hanger, we were receiving several calls relating to the type of tree and what they need to do to help it get established.

I’d be interested to see what other municipalities are doing to communicate with residents in terms of what trees they are receiving, as well as aftercare and ‘the big picture’.  Any ideas or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
