I would recommend the following documents - AZ1048, AZ1022, AZ1003, 8363,
8446, 8651, MC13 and Q96. These various documents cover tree experts, desert
trees - planting and care and salt damage.Check out the index on this web
page.

I don't have any recommendation for dealing with your orig. landscaper.
Hopefully he will respond to your complaints and replace any plant that did
not make it. Being well informed is usually the best way to deal with
contractors and the above documents will get you up to speed quickly.
Good Luck

Subject: [Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page


> We have had several trees die since last summer.  Two Brazilian Peppers
and two Sweet Acacias.  There were six acacias planted in a row.  Another
hasn't grown and I'm worried about the rest.  Also Two Texas Honey Mesquites
look more like Charlie Brown's christmas tree.  All the trees were planted
June of 2000.  We have had one arborist come and tell us the trees were all
planted too deep, and are being watered to close to the trunk.  A second
tree company said he thinks it's an overwatering problem.  How do I
determine the problem and correct it before I lose more trees?  And what, if
any, recourse do I have with the original landscape company?
