New trees planted in the park


Lomco tree planting company Sept.22

Dufferin Grove Park has a lot of beautiful old trees. Some are so old they're starting to fall down or rot. Discussions began three years ago, about planting some young trees to take up the slack once the old ones go. This past spring, City Forestry staff Uyen Dias walked around with on-site park staff, marking out new planting sites. But then the Forestry staff got so busy they couldn't make the spring planting. Today the trees arrived and were planted by a contractor (Lomco). 31 trees in 3 hours! They planted silver maples, sugar maples, white oaks, red oaks, pin oaks, and Kentucky coffee trees.

Now we have to treat those trees very well. They need protection against dogs, weed-eaters, and people who like to break branches. Next summer if it's dry they'll need lots of water. Everyone who loves trees, look out for these newcomers to the park...
