Santa Fe Extension Master Gardener edition of The Garden Journal.
Arborist and horticulturist Tracy Neal in conversation with host Christine Salem on what climate change means for trees in the Santa Fe area.
Part 1 covers what climate changes we are seeing here and what is predicted for the future and how these new climate realities are and will impact our trees.
Part 2 will air on Sept. 11, 2021, and covers specific advice about what we can do for our trees in the face of climate change: what we can do to keep our trees healthy; how to select trees to plant now that will be resilient in the climate of the future; what we can do to develop tree varieties that will survive and thrive as climate change continues apace.
