Tree Management Plan, planting Dawn Redwoods

Our horticulturitst Becky Edwards through her affiliation with the St. Louis Horticultural Coop received a nice discount on three Dawn Redwoods that were planted late last week.  The trees were cultivated from the Dawn Redwoods located in the back of Missouri Botanical Garden grounds and were named after past director Dr. Peter Raven.   They were planted between the main road and #9 lake.
