The best time to prune trees in the Plattsmouth area is early in the Spring when new growth will start the healing immedi ately. Do not let an amateur prune your tree, or treat it. Improper care will retard the tree growth and in some instances prove fatal. One cannot afford to lose a tree, it takes too many years for it to grow. Did you know: That shade trees can keep your living room 15 degrees cool er in summer? That they will reduce ground temperatures by 30 to 35 degrees? Would you throw away your air conditioner? Of course not! Then why cut down those beau tiful shade trees? And long about September, the leaves on the trees and the grass in the meadows, begin to turn. Soon a brilliant array of au tumn color blazes forth across the countryside. The red of the sumac, the yellows and browns of the trees, blend into a gor geous panorama of color a last brilliant flash before the wind and cold of winter bares them. Plattsmouth has always been known for its beautiful trees and since Arbor Day, April 22, is drawing near, we felt it neces sary to talk to you about the tree pruning in cur city. Many home owners have trim med their own trees or hired in expensive help and the results are shocking. It's like having your hair trimmed, and finding too much was sheared, but too late J Only it is much worse, as the tree may never cultivate lovely new branches, but one can grow hair in a good month's time. Of course, that is a foolish comparison, but is well worth thinking- about.
