This morning, a family worked together with Tree Fresno and the City of Fresno to plant 12 new street trees with irrigation on Pottle Avenue. Can't wait to see these young trees grow. We planted Chinese Pistache, Dessert Willow, and Natchez Crepe Myrtle. The color from all of the foliage and flowers on this street will be beautiful.

Upgrades and expansion to irrigation serving drought tolerant trees would definitely be a plus!
