Dear Sir,
After waiting many months to have trees again in our town centre I am disappointed to see that several are dying. This may be due to lack of water as I have yet to see any signs of water being given to the trees. Whoever is responsible for the wellbeing of these trees please water them ASAP and keep them watered before they all die.

Thank you for forwarding to me Mr Humble’s comments on our trees and his perception of their current condition and general maintenance.
I can assure Mr Humble that our trees are indeed being watered as per the care/maintenance plan supplied by our Arborist which states that each tree should get 2 gallons of water 3 times per week and in extreme weather, such as we are currently experiencing, then daily if the soil is not moist to touch.
This is ongoing exercise until the trees can be self sufficient and our Arborist will continue to monitor until full growth is achieved.
A couple of our trees have unfortunately not responded well to being replanted however we hope they will recover and thrive.
