<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mosquitoes
bugging you? Flies pestering you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is
summertime in the <a href="http://www.kerrvilletexascvb.com/businesses">Kerrville</a> and <a href="http://visitsanantonio.com/">San Antonio</a> area and we are enjoying entertaining and being
outdoors. But, there are insects to deal with. Ever wondered what you can do to
avoid bites and waving your arms around like crazy attempting to keep flies off
the freshly grilled burgers? <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There
are choices in how to rid your <a href="http://burroughslandscaping.blogspot.com/2015/02/preparing-for-summer-15.html">outdoor living area</a> from annoying pests.
Chemical pesticides are an option, but they are expensive and may kill what we
consider to be pests. Some bugs are actually beneficial to our environment. These
pesticides may also be harmful to our pets and even small children.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rather
than resort to chemically treating our patios, yards and gardens, </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/mikeburroughs/" style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Burroughs Landscaping</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> suggests a
natural way to enjoy your summer minus the worry of irritating bites and ruined
food.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Consider
planting garden herbs in containers close to and around patio doors, gardens,
grills; anywhere you plan to spend time with friends and family outdoors this summer.
Basil, Lavender, Rosemary, Mint and Lemon Grass are herbs that provide
protection from insects, exhibit beauty and can be used to spice up your favorite dishes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Did you
know that basil repels mosquitoes and flies? Create beds or plant basil in pots
around outdoor eating areas and near doorways. Basil is an excellent choice for
<a href="http://texashillcountry.com/">Texas Hill Country</a> as it thrives in full sun. Especially if planted in pots, a
splash of water daily will keep this durable herb healthy. The peppery, tangy herb
will provide a nice aroma as well as spice up Italian and Asian dishes. If you
don’t cook with basil, butterflies will love to visit, providing extra color
and entertainment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lavender
works much the same as basil. Beds or pots of lavender around doorways keeps
mosquitoes, flies, fleas and even scorpions away. Along with keeping pests
away, lavender adds color to your landscape as well as an exhilarating aroma. Sachets of lavender can help keep moths away in drawers and closets as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rosemary
is another choice to keep insects away from your outdoor living area. Sun-loving
and requiring little water, rosemary will add some color to your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Hill_Country">Texas HillCountry</a> landscape with small clusters of light lavender/blue flowers through
the fall and into the winter. Rosemary produces oil that repels mosquitoes and
scorpions. Also, placing a spring of rosemary on food while it is on the grill
will add flavor as well as the scented smoke keeping mosquitoes and flies at a
distance. Grow lavender in pots or mix into landscaping beds and borders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mint
repels fleas, ants and flies. Growing in pots may be the best option for this
herb, as it is prone to be invasive. Rub mint on your skin to avoid being
bitten.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lemon
grass and lemon balm contain citronella oil which is used for insect repellent
and candles. This low maintenance plant with long gray-green leaf blades will
prevent mosquitoes in and around your outdoor living area. Deer resistant,
lemon grass is an annual, ornamental grass. Low maintenance, yet requiring
moisture, partial shade is the perfect location for this carefree grass that can
also be used in preparing Asian dishes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
summer, rather than spending money on costly pesticides, <a href="http://www.burroughslandscaping.com/">Burroughs Landscaping</a> suggests considering using herbs to deter insects from disturbing your cookouts and outdoor entertaining in your natural landscape.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Landscaping can be more enjoyable when it requires less maintenance. Using plants that are native to your regional climate are easier to care for and resist pests and diseases. Native plants have naturally adapted to their environment over thousands of years so they won't need as much fertilizer and water as non-native plants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/ornamentals/nativeshrubs/agaveamer.htm">The Century Plant</a> is a perfect plant to add to your landscaping design plans. This iconic agave thrives in full sun or part shade and is a native Texas plant. This rugged beauty is celebrated by landscapers for its ease of care and durability. It is also known as the American Agave and has been utilized as a cornerstone resource by indigenous people from its point of origin in the highlands of Mexico to the unforgiving terrain of Arizona and parts of Texas. This agave century plant has beautiful leaves that can grow to a length of six feet. These leaves can be a bluish-gray color and have thorns at the bottom so be sure and keep them away from pedestrian areas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once established the century plant needs essentially no attention. It can live up to 25 years and produces only a single set of blooms during its lifetime. The name century comes form the fact that is a slow growth plant and it takes years to bloom, although it doesn't take 100 years! The blooming consists of a cluster flowers on top of the huge central stalk resembling a candelabrum and is a memorable sight if you are lucky to see it!</span></div>

<br />
Texas Hill country is full of amazing landscapes and picturesque views. One of the most unusual natural beauty dotting our horizon is<a href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/history-culture/article/13-interesting-facts-about-Enchanted-Rock-the-6783135.php"> Enchanted Rock</a>. Enchanted Rock is a monadnock, which is an isolated rock, small mountain, hill or knob that rises abruptly from a gently sloping terrain.<br />
<br />
Enchanted Rock is located 17 miles north of <a href="http://www.fredericksburgtexas-online.com/">Fredericksburg</a> and 24 south of <a href="http://www.llanochamber.org/">Llano, Texas</a>. It is a great place to spend time with family and friends stargazing, hiking, rock climbing or having a picnic. The area covers 640 acres and is 425 feet above the surrounding terrain with an elevation of 1,825 feet above sea level.<br />
<br />
Taking day trips around our beautiful state can give you inspiration for your own landscaping plans. It is so easy to get caught up in everyday life and we forget how beautiful our surroundings truly are! We take for granted the beauty that we see every day and we need to step back and really look at the landscape and enjoy it as someone seeing it for the first time.<br />
<br />
Take a drive this weekend around our beautiful state and admire the countryside. Take note of the flowers, cacti, flowering bushes, and even the rock formations. Hike up to the top of Enchanted Rock and marvel at the amazing blue Texas sky, explore the native plants, trees and flowers. Take pictures to refresh your memory when you return home. These memories can help you create a natural retreat right in your own backyard.<br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't you feel at home when you are driving and you spot the beautiful bluebonnets? Our beautiful Hill Country of Texas is fortunate to have an abundance of the Texas state flower. Bluebonnets have been loved since man first stepped foot in the vast prairies of Texas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/archives/parsons/flowers/bluebonnet/bluebonnetstory.html">The bluebonnet became the state flower in 1901 </a>and there are more than one species of bluebonnet so they are all the state flower or state flowers! Bluebonnets make our highways beautiful thanks to the Texas Highway Department. In 1932, the department hired Jac Gubbels to maintain, preserve and encourage wildflowers and other native plants along rights of way. In 1934, the practice began to delay mowing (unless needed for safety) until the spring and early summer wildflowers seasons were over. This practice is still in place and the T<a href="https://www.txdot.gov/">exas Department of Transportation</a> buys and sows about 30,000 pounds of wildflower seed each year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Historian, Jack Maguire wrote, "It's not only the state flower but also a kind of floral trademark almost as well known to outsiders as cowboy boots and the Stetson hat". He also affirms that "The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France and the tulip to Holland".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As the bluebonnet season comes to a close, be sure and take advantage of viewing these beauties while they last! Make beautiful memories with your family by taking family pictures in a field of bluebonnets. As you view the amazing landscapes, let it inspire you to update your home landscaping.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of us live close to neighbors so there are a few things <a href="http://www.burroughslandscaping.com/#!portfolios/c1oo9">Burroughs Landscaping</a> suggests to keep in mind as the warmer months draw near and we will be outdoors more often.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When blowing leaves or cutting grass, dispose of them properly rather than blowing into a neighbor's yard. If painting, stay far enough away from vehicles, houses, and other personal items to ensure paint doesn't blow.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">During windy spring months, if trees or branches fall into your yard or your neighbor's, clean them up to keep the neighborhood neat.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Try to avoid using noisy lawn equipment early in the morning or late into the evening hours. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep weeds away from property lines to avoid them creeping into a neighbor's yard.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Avoid bright lights shining toward a neighbor's home at night, and be conscious of music volume after a reasonable hour.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of us delight in the tinkling of wind chimes, but for some people the constant chimes may be annoying. If your neighbors are close, be considerate and take them down when not outside enjoying them. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Be aware of where cars are parked, especially when having visitors. Confirm neighbor's drives and mailboxes are not blocked.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep debris, such as car parts, yard tools, scrap wood and even toys in the back yard to avoid cluttering curb appeal in your neighborhood.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have a sandpaper neighbor who does any of the above, consider the circumstances. Perhaps they are elderly and not able to rake leaves, or are going through a difficult time. Consider asking if they need help with picking papers up from the drive each day. If concerns persist, contact <a href="http://www.burroughslandscaping.com/#!contact-us/c15n8">Burroughs Landscaping</a> to add attractive trees, fences or other <a href="http://burroughslandscaping.blogspot.com/2014/05/spruce-up-with-hardscaping_9.html">hardscaping</a> to minimize unappealing views, lights or noise.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a few ways to prevent your lovely plants from being devoured. Some plants are naturally <a href="http://burroughslandscaping.blogspot.com/2014/04/deer-resistant-plants-and-flowers-101.html">deer resistant</a>, but uninvited guests may be likely to try anything once!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you want to deter deer, rabbits and other visitors from your beds, follow these suggestions:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Surprise four legged company with motion sensor lights that come on as they approach your pretties</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hungry, unwelcome callers will be less likely to feast on your plants if you have dogs that are outside. The noise and activity will discourage them</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Garden ornaments that are moved frequently may deter snack time from unwelcome visitors</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Plant tall hedges or fencing around delicious looking plants and flowers</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thorny bushes, <a href="http://burroughslandscaping.blogspot.com/2014/04/deer-resistant-plants-and-flowers-102.html">lamb's ear</a> or holly may encourage them to move along to your neighbor's more exposed plants</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scents such as lavender, rosemary and garlic are not appealing to hungry deer and other wildlife who want to make your landscape their lunch. These scents around the entry point in your garden may be enough to save your plants</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Evenly sprinkle or spray around your garden area with liquid or granular animal repellent. It may be necessary to reapply after rain</span></li>

summer. This is a great time to visit your landscaping needs, focusing on out
with the old (most anything that is not drought resistant), and in with the new
(stick with native plants). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Planting in the wintertime allows delicate, new root systems
to grow and become established before the heat of summer arrives. Choosing
plants that will survive in thin soil does not limit you from beauty and color!
While there is no guarantee of plant choices that deer won’t decide to make
dinner of, there is a wide assortment to choose from that is less appealing to
them. Also, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BurroughsLandscaping">Burroughs Landscaping</a> will plan gardens to offer some protection to
the more enticing plants!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep your outdoor living space natural to encourage colorful
visitors, such as butterflies and birds. These pretties who are necessary for
our environment will choose your home to make their own. A bird bath is not
only helpful to our feathered friends, but provides endless entertainment for
us as well!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

and you can spend your time enjoying your family and friends in your amazing
new outdoor space!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Are you blessed with many colorful leaves littering your lawn this beautiful fall season? </span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of us in </span><a href="http://texashillcountry.com/" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Texas Hill Country</a><span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> who love our trees, even though leaves are essential, they can be frustrating as they fall faster than we can decide the best method of disposing of them. Essential nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and nitrogen are supplied by leaves. Leaves supply food and energy to macro and micro organisms through the soil. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are some options to consider that will make the most of those pesky leaves blowing around our lawns:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Raking the leaves and disposing in a compost bin creates organic fertilizer. Add small amounts of fertilizer and moisture to speed up decomposition. This choice reduces adding to landfills.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Raking leaves and disposing in receptacle is an option to straighten your lawn and walks. If you don't have a compost pile, this is one way to allow your grass to breathe through the winter months.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leave your mower out a bit longer and mow the leaves. This option leaves nutrients for your trees and lawn, and can even prevent weed growth through the winter. Depending on the kinds of trees on your property and size of leaves, mow at least once each week to keep fallen leaf population under control. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you choose to eliminate leaves yourself, any of the above options is good exercise for the fall months. And what better time to be outside than during cooler weather. Enjoy the break from out hot summer months. Also, <a href="http://www.burroughslandscaping.com/">Burroughs Landscaping</a> enjoys bringing your property to life in the fall, ridding your lawn of leaves and updating your outdoor living space. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is one day a year when food and family take center stage and that day is Thanksgiving. Families come together across many miles to spend the day eating food prepared from recipes passed down for generations. It is a time for grateful appreciation of being together and having the comfort of being "home". Thanksgiving is a time for traditions. The traditions vary from family to family, from city to city, from state to state, but one thing is certain food is always center stage!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few fun facts about Thanksgiving:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November as a national day of thanksgiving in 1863. In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt decided that the holiday should be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in order to extend the holiday shopping by a week as requested by The National Retail Dry Goods Association. This caused controversy since in 1939 there happened to be five Thursdays in November. Two years later, the House of Representatives passed a resolution making the last Thursday in November a legal holiday. The Senate amended the resolution, setting the date as the fourth Thursday and the House eventually agreed.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Macy's was not the first department store to sponsor a Thanksgiving Day parade. Gimbel's, a Philadelphia department store sponsored a parade in 1920. Macy's parade began four years later and has become a Thanksgiving tradition as well as the kick-off to the Christmas shopping season.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Domesticated turkeys, which are the ones we traditionally eat on Thanksgiving, cannot fly. They are also slow with females being a bit faster than the males. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at a speed of almost 55 mph! They also have better vision and hearing than the domestic turkeys. Benjamin Franklin actually suggested that turkeys be our national bird instead of the bald eagle!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The White House has a long history of issuing pardons for turkeys. The practice may have begun when President Lincoln granted a pardon to his son Tad's pet turkey. President Obama pardoned a turkey named courage in 2009.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Pilgrims adopted the Native Americans use of cranberries. The Native Americans used cranberries in foods such as "pemmican" which was a nourishing, high protein combination of dried deer meat, crushed berries and melted fat. They used cranberries also as a medicine to treat wounds and as a dye for fabric. The Pilgrims named it "craneberry" because the drooping pink blooms in the spring reminded them of a crane.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first Thanksgiving was a 3-day harvest feast held by the founders of the Plymouth colony in 1621. Attending were 53 colonists and 90 Wampanoag. They feasted mainly on venison, swan, goose, and duck. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are several recipes and dishes that are required eating on Thanksgiving. It is interesting to see how the recipes and names of dishes change depending on the Mason Dixon Line! One the most popular is "dressing" or "stuffing". Southerners call it "dressing" and most Northerners call it "stuffing", although a few Pennsylvanians have "filling" with their turkey. There is no way to know if the Pilgrims had stuffing at the original feast, but it is likely that combinations of wild game and rice were featured in some way. Boston cookbooks include stuffing recipes that contain oysters. Mennonite women used left-over mashed potatoes, stale bread, and butter to make their "filling" to serve as a casserole with the main dish of poultry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the south, the dressing is cornbread based. Many homes serve dressing cooked by a recipe that has been in the family for years. Some cooks know the recipe by observing their mothers and grandmothers prepare the dish. It is often hard to find two recipes exactly the same and sometimes a recipe isn't written down. A grandmother may tell you to use enough broth until it "looks right" or you add a "bit" of salt and "some" stalks of celery. Perfecting the recipe make take a couple of Thanksgiving failures to get it right! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many cooks used what was available to make their dressing or stuffing. The Pacific Northwest recipes have oysters, clams, and mussels. The American West cooks developed their own recipes by blending what they liked from the North and the South. San Franciscans took advantage of left-over sourdough bread for their dish. The recipe shared below is an updated version of a traditional stuffing recipe from San Francisco.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 links chicken apple sausage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 large white onions, chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 stalks of celery, chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 tablespoons of butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 cups chicken broth</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tablespoon dried sage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tablespoon salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 teaspoon of dried savory</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 teaspoon of dried thyme</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer cooled cubes to large bowl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cut open sausage links remove casing and finely chop meat. Add 1 tablespoon butter to heavy skillet, heat over medium heat and add sausage. Saute until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and add to bread. In the same pan, saute onions and celery until translucent. Add to bread mixture. Put remaining butter in the same skillet and saute the apples until soft. Add apples to bread mixture along with the sage, savory, thyme, pepper, and salt. Gradually add liquid until the bread has absorbed it and the bread cubes have no crunch. Butter a 15x10x2-inch baking dish, add the stuffing, cover with foil and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This stuffing is very different from most served in this area, but maybe your family would welcome a "new" tradition!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our cooler autumn weather has officially began, how does this impact our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Hill_Country">Texas Hill Country</a> landscaping?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fall is the perfect time to try some new things in your yard. Grab a pencil and pad, and take a walk around your outdoor space. Envision the changes you would like to see. What fall colors do you like? Look online for plants and trees that you fancy. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BurroughsLandscaping?ref=hl">Burroughs Landscaping</a> can make it all happen! The knowledgeable team will guide you in deciding proper spacing to plant the foliage you choose. There are many beautiful options that are natural to our area. This friendly team will group plants together with the same water and sunlight needs, causing them to thrive together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plants such as Texas sage, rosemary, hummingbird bush, Pink Skullcap, Gregs Salvia, Turks Cap and lantanas are all fairly deer resistant and only require small amounts of water. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Consider having trees planted in the fall. These months are the best time to plant in the <a href="http://www.kerrvilletx.gov/">Kerrville</a> and <a href="http://www.sanantonio.gov/">San Antonio</a> area, as trees concentrate on root growth and take nutrients from the soil. They will be established for spring's full, leafy, above-ground growth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fall is a great time to be in the habit of mulching. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/mikeburroughs/">Burroughs Landscaping</a> will effectively use mulch that provides the natural nutrients your plants will enjoy through the winter months. Mulch reduces the need to fertilize, helps the soil retain water, reduces weed growth, and protects plant's root systems during cold winter months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The change of seasons is a great time to have your irrigation systems checked, confirming they are set to run the correct amount of time and are covering the needed areas. Now is the time to decrease the frequency of watering and perhaps increase the time you water your plants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a nice finishing touch, perhaps adding a little color and some of your own personality, using accent pots and other yard decor. Then, sit back and enjoy your own private retreat with a cup of hot chocolate and your favorite family and friends. Happy Fall Ya'll!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are things to consider when purchasing your newest addition, such as:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How tall will the tree be when fully grown?</span></li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will it lose it's leaves in the winter?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are the requirements for soil, sun and moisture for your healthiest, most beautiful tree?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some benefits of planting new trees on your property include:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cleaning the air</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Curbing storm water runoff</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raising property values</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sequestering carbon</span></li>

The Arizona Cypress is an evergreen tree, keeping its foliage year-round. This cypress grows to a height of 40-50' and a spread of 25-30' at maturity. The Arizona Cypress prefers full sun and grows well in acidic, alkaline, sandy and well-drained soils, displaying good drought resistance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupressus_arizonica"> Arizona Cypress</a> works well as a Christmas tree, growing in a pyramidal shape featuring gray-green, scale-like, soft and aromatic needles. It produces wide, dark reddish-brown cones and develops rough, shredding, gray-brown bark. The seeds are consumed by squirrels, ground squirrels and other rodents.</span></div>

It is moderately drought-tolerant once well-established and grows well in acidic, alkaline, moist, rich, sandy, well-drained and clay soils and prefers full sun. This majestic native is considered both a shade tree and an ornamental tree, featuring a spreading canopy capable of blocking sunlight and adding beauty to landscaping. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">California Sycamores develop a massive trunk with ashy white bark that peels off to reveal mottled colors of white, tan and brown. The leaves are leathery and large, 6-12" wide, and deep green in color. The sycamore produces tiny green flowers in the spring and small seeds are encased in soft brown balls that are 3/4 - 1 1/4/' in diameter, hanging in groups of 2-7. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Best suited for large landscapes, the California Sycamore provides food and nesting sites for birds. It is a food source for the larve of butterflies.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know that trees need water to survive and grow. What we may not be aware of is that water quality and quantity is directly linked to trees. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trees filter our water. Trees remove water from the soil, traveling through the vascular system where it is cleaned and released in a fine mist into the air. The water is cleaned as it travels through the vascular system, emitting up to 400 gallons of water in a day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Water is also filtered as it travels through tree roots and seeps into our groundwater. Research shows that some tree species break down water pollutants including metals, pesticides, and solvents. Tree roots prevent erosion of precious topsoil by stabilizing the soil and dispersing rainfall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tree foliage reduces the amount of water runoff. The water retained on the leaves and stems slowly drips off or evaporates. Tree foliage means water entering the soil, helping to reduce the potential for drought problems. Shade from trees reduces the evaporation of soil moisture, which reduces the need for landscape irrigation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What better time than the beginning of a new season to plant new life! Milder soil and air temperatures are excellent conditions for the root systems to begin growing. Our mild <a href="http://texashillcountry.com/">Texas Hill Country</a> winters provide the perfect environment for new roots to become established throughout winter months, allowing young trees to be established for hot summer months.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Burroughs Landscaping says the months of September and October are the perfect times to mulch trees and gardens.</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adding mulch in the fall to trees and beds reduces water loss and encourages root growth. Even the smallest amount of mulch, an inch or so, significantly reduces soil temperatures in <a href="http://texashillcountry.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Texas Hill Country's</span></a> hot, dry autumns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKdMzf9hSpFoQMfVH10rVqlC0XV0qzPY9TfR3FgWSYjXvsz_6zho81P0fmXUkBmaUgwcpQ-gnL3i6ev81eyNq7yTx3rpahfnbMWgRcKgw2YgKz03likSS4AVZnEgTH_M1q4lJpnVdR4sg/s1600/Mulch+in+Fall+Burroughs+Landscaping.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Organic Mulch, Inorganic Mulch" border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKdMzf9hSpFoQMfVH10rVqlC0XV0qzPY9TfR3FgWSYjXvsz_6zho81P0fmXUkBmaUgwcpQ-gnL3i6ev81eyNq7yTx3rpahfnbMWgRcKgw2YgKz03likSS4AVZnEgTH_M1q4lJpnVdR4sg/s320/Mulch+in+Fall+Burroughs+Landscaping.jpeg" title="Burroughs Landscaping, Mulch in Fall" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose between organic and inorganic mulch. Woodchips, pine bark, pecan shells and leaves are a few of the organic mulches. Decomposed granite, rocks and black plastic are examples of inorganic mulch. Both types reduce our still hot soil temperature, plant competition and moisture levels in the soil. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Organic mulch is <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/104879740008905599600/+BurroughsLandscapingKerrville/posts"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Burroughs Landscaping's</span></a> mulch of choice, with benefits such as increasing soil structure, the capacity to hold water and water infiltration.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Burroughs can offer tips on compost and mulch that provide natural nutrients to your plants. Mulch reduces the need to fertilize as well as retaining water in the soil.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BurroughsLandscaping">Burroughs Landscaping</a> will review watering needs for your specific lawn, confirming that plants with similar watering requirements are grouped together. In the fall, it is good to confirm the sprinklers are working properly. Are they covering the area? Are they on for the correct length of time? Confirm no water is being wasted watering paved drives or sidewalks. Use ground systems low to the ground, avoiding wasting water spraying into the air and evaporating.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Autumn sage, or Salvia greggii, is drought resistant and provides bright color throughout the fall. This is a great time to plant autumn sage in your garden to enjoy into the winter months. The colors will magically reappear in the spring, and may last throughout the summer each year. If in direct sun, it may be necessary to lightly water weekly in hot summer months for the most colorful blossoms. This vibrant plant brings even more excitement into your yard, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Growing up to two feet tall and wide, you can be sure to enjoy the multicolored guests who will visit your outdoor living area this fall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plant autumn sage in an area with well drained soil. Raised beds, planters and good sized pots are all great choices also. Line a pathway or use as a backdrop to a beautiful perennial bed. After the last frost and after the blossoms fall, prune back to one foot and apply a slow-release fertilizer in the spring. The fertilizer will provide more blooms in the summer. Don't wait too late to prune, or you will be removing next year's blooms. Pruning keeps your autumn sage tidy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Native to <a href="http://www.texas.gov/">Texas</a>, autumn sage's tube shaped flowers are available in beautiful colors such as pink, red, white and shades of purple. The bright green foliage is attractive as well and resistant to rabbits and deer! If you don't have autumn sage planted in your yard yet, try one, or two! You will enjoy the low maintenance beauty!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drought conditions are a part of living in <a href="http://texashillcountry.com/">Texas Hill Country</a>.</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In spite of all the rain at the beginning of summer, our normal drought conditions are upon us. If your yard and gardens seem dry, never fear. They are tougher than you may imagine. If you have grass, it may be necessary to water, but be aware of restrictions in your particular area. Once each week should suffice for most grass and plants. Give your landscape the water it needs, but there don't over water. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your gardens contain mostly native plants, there may be little need to water at all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UFtQOwp4Vaa8gQo37MOu0h6oD1UFusROtI7PO2CXzwGjjT56nC7ByDwXTQvQ4qPP2BtHI53F0gxloaSqO83prTP1HOFQ_dd_ROlAtWqbUOByZLmL3prfmqhU0OsqZz174dx6g-g1r0A7/s1600/Over+watering+Burroughs+Landscaping.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UFtQOwp4Vaa8gQo37MOu0h6oD1UFusROtI7PO2CXzwGjjT56nC7ByDwXTQvQ4qPP2BtHI53F0gxloaSqO83prTP1HOFQ_dd_ROlAtWqbUOByZLmL3prfmqhU0OsqZz174dx6g-g1r0A7/s320/Over+watering+Burroughs+Landscaping.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adjust your irrigation system to water or plan to use the sprinkler early in the morning or late in the evening hours. Hand watering uses the least amount. This avoids areas that need less water, as well as avoids watering sidewalks and streets. Watch the weather, there may be days that unexpected showers pass through, eliminating the need to water at all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When planning a garden, arrange like plants together. This will avoid over watering plants that are more drought tolerant. In fact, too much water can cause pests that love overly hot, moist, dense vegetation. Fire ants, mosquitoes and pill bugs will make their home in your plants and lawns if it is too damp. Fire ants enjoy tropical conditions and can build huge mounds across your yard. Watering a minimum amount can avoid fire ants. Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water in shady and humid places. Over watering thick shrubs and tall grass will provide the perfect environment for mosquitoes to multiply. Pill bugs enjoy humid moist conditions and eat tender green vegetation in landscapes and gardens. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oak Wilt is caused by a fungus that enters the tree and stops the flow of water and elements by plugging the vessels in the vascular system.</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some species of oaks are more tolerant than others, even though all are susceptible. Red Oaks are highly susceptible while oaks in the White Oak family are more tolerant of an infection. The first symptom in the Red Oak family is an oily green appearance in sections of the tree's canopy, quickly turning a tan or red color. A heavy and rapid shedding of foliage with individual leaves displaying these symptoms is another indication. However, this may not be the case in the months of February and March, as this is the normal process of leaf shedding during these months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.texasoakwilt.org/Documents/Stewardship/OakWilt_English.pdf">Oak Wilt</a> spreads from tree to tree by root-to-root contact as a general rule. Overland spread is another method of possible contamination. Sap-feeding nitidulid beetles can carry spores from fungal spore mats on a dying Red Oak to a wound on a nearby tree. The spores can infect the tree only if the wound is fresh and created in the previous 24-48 hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://burroughslandscaping.blogspot.com/2014/08/winning-fight-with-oak-wilt-fungus.html">Oak Wilt</a> can expand 75 feet or more in a dense group of live oaks. In a rural area, trenching between infected and non-infected trees can eliminate the disease. This is more difficult in an urban area due to underground utilities and other obstructions.</span><br />
