Landscape Update

Six Lucas Hornbeam trees have been planted at the Rings Road entrance. These trees replaced the six Flowering Plum trees that were removed due to their infection with Black Knot disease. The Lucas Hornbeam variety was recommended by Strader's Nursery since they are more disease resistant. At maturity they will be 20 to 30 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide, with an upward growth habit that will not require pruning. Leaves are dark green, turning yellow in the fall.
Four Blue Spruce trees and two additional Plum trees (located at both entrances) will be removed due to disease with plans to replace them in Spring 2021. Removal of the Sumac around the Avery Road pond continues.
The lighting for the Cramer's Crossing monument sign on Avery Road was also upgraded in 2020 with LED 60 watt commercial grade fixtures, bringing that electrical system up to code.
