Tastefully done!

In RE: Trees - The Blue Dome area desperately needs some.

We (Up with Trees...I am the vice president) have plans to plant trees downtown this upcoming season. We are also beginning a sponsorship program where we will put a plaque nearby.

Last we planted 166 trees inside the IDL. We planted all varieties. The ones I got for the south side of our recycling center at 11th and Cincinnati were Chinese Pistache. It is one of my favorite shade trees. It does great in Oklahoma and has stunning fall color.

This year we are going to plant 353 trees downtown. The plans are to completely finish Denver from end to end, do all of Detroit from 11th to 1st, most of Archer street, and 1st street from Elgin to the east to bridge.

Some of these trees this year are being purchased by the Downtown Coordinating Council. The others are just being planted by our organization with hopes of selling sponsorships in the future. It takes quite a bit of work to rebuild the planter boxes and the trees we are purchasing are not cheap. We also are committed to complete watering for three years.

If you want to sponsor a particular downtown tree, contact me. We will put in the ground a tasteful 5"x5" plaque for $600. You will be proud of how beautiful a simple act like planting a tree can be.

Pistache is a great tree for around here!  Good for yard landscaping, too! 

On the planters - it would really help the trees a lot if you could make them twice, or even thrice as long as they are wide!  A rectangular box....  The more earth exposure where the roots are growing, the better.

It's a shame that roof runoff couldn't be diverted to the boxes....even if it were an overhead piping thing coming out from the building drainpipe....
