Title: Cedar trees at Village Video
Post by: Hobbes on Apr 18, 15, 03:34:06 PM

I'm excited to report that there are three year old cedar trees available at Village Video. These trees grow to a nice uniform conical shape, and are drought and disease resistant. The best thing is they are for sale for only three bucks! If you need a great evergreen tree, go check these out!

But they aren't very fire safe.

Neither are pine trees according to that list. Time to bust out the chainsaw...

The idea is not to plant highly flammable vegetation near residences. And not to add more flammable plants to your yard. Thinning is often more helpful in high fire hazard areas.
Come to Wildfire and Disaster Preparedness Day at the Community Center on May 9th for a lot of good information.
