Program:

Members who brought trees re-potted them. Mary Hesser and Larry Benjamin each re-potted one

tree while John DeMaegd re-potted two. Sofia Ivanova and Mark Rennie brought their (nursery-

bought) juniper which they had begun to work on at last month's meeting. Paul Weishaar helped

them excavate some of the soil to reveal the trunk structure from the too deeply potted tree. (A task

made more difficult because the soil was frozen!) Sofia & Mark will bring the tree to our April meeting

to continue to reduce the root ball and repot it.
