(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one in a series on the continuing effort to add trees to the community.) For Kansas, as well as much of the country, fall is a great time to add to the local tree supply.It’s a good time to work outdoors in the cooler weather, and there are also benefits for the trees because the soil is still warm, but its an easier time to keep moisture to the new trees without the hot weather to account for. Trees tend to establish better this time of year, according to Tree Board President Charles Waknitz.And, as Waknitz has explained, Great Bend needs more trees — both today and for the future. In fact, as the community continues to lose aging trees over the next few years, it could be in trouble if property owners don’t get serious about adding to the community trees.According to the American Association of Nurserymen, there are some important points to consider about fall planting:“When selecting a tree, consider your lawn’s soil, sun, moisture, and temperature conditions, as well as your personal preferences regarding color, size, and leaf shape.
