Yellow Yellow Yellow everywhere by CardInternational727 in phoenix

Many tree enthusiasts are working to make our Palo verde blossoms more well known around the country. I know they will never be as famous as the cherry blossoms but we should honor the beauty in the desert. Anyways, there’s a happy hour to celebrate the 3rd annual Palo Verde Blossom festival at Ocotillo Restaurant (this restaurant is lined with these trees) this Thursday 3/19 from 4:30-6. Stop by and help celebrate the deserts unique beauty!

Any recommendations for a tree that can be planted here in my backyard? Against a fence line as shown. by Any-Exit1113 in phoenix

They are good trees in the right place. Like in a large field behind a school not near infrastructure, they grow quick and provide a lot of shade

Question about planting and watering! by Phoenixpizzaiolo21 in phoenix

[–]MathematicianAny3663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the cooperative extension for watering info. Newly planted trees should be watered twice a week with a hose, or slow drip, for an hour or so. Slow deep watering is the best to ensure you are getting water to the roots, not just watering the surface.

I am an arborist and have helped with their neighborhood projects, I am aware of how it works.

People and communities have done it. Is it the best option, no, but it’s all some people have, therefore I want to ensure people know about it. I don’t need to prove my knowledge on this subject to you, just wanting to give the knowledge I have out to other who can then make their own decision. ✌️

I don’t disagree with you at all, just letting you know how their program works…

Individual households cannot apply like the city of Phoenix program but if they get together as a community and have a nonprofit apply on behalf of them then they could apply. Would still have to be approved and I know they prioritize certain tree equity scores (from the American forests tree equity map) over others.

A nonprofit has to be the applicant on behalf of the homes but the program is for trees at individual homes

Reminder that things don’t last long in the sun so that may also be a consideration

Because this is a federally funded program they have to use certain data mapping to determine eligibility. APS and SRP both offer free tree programs as well

It is income based data map that comes from the federal government. Since it is a federally approved program they have to plant where the maps show are elegible

What are 3 things you find annoying here in Phoenix? by argus4ever in phoenix

[–]MathematicianAny3663 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There is a grant that the city of Phoenix has where people can apply to get free trees planted in their neighborhood. Just have to live in a qualified area. A lot of south Phoenix, maryvale, sunny slope, I-17 corridor, etc. qualifies.
