[CANUFNET] Tree guards

[Bill Pollock]

Hi,
I'm a retired forest engineer and retired school board commissioner of 41
years. I definitely believe you need tree guards particularly on the
smaller trees. It's amazing what kids and lawn trimmers can do to young
trees especially in busy playgrounds. Stones are inexpensive and work
pretty well. Never plant anything less than 2 inches as the kids will
destroy them if in a busy playground area.

The trees are listening to you. If you listen back they will talk to you.
