Once you dig up a plant and put it in a new location, your job is far from over. Today we're taking a quick look at our
transplanted Bulltongue Arrowheads, the newest residents of the upper pond and the latest addition to the Arboretum collection. How have they fared over the last two weeks?
 |
| Overall, the new additions look pretty good. Some leaves have fallen down in the soil, but everything is green and healthy. |
 |
| During the past two weeks, the local weather has been consistently hot and dry. The campus grounds crew is tasked with keeping the landscapes fresh and green despite the harsh growing conditions, which has resulted in a high usage of the campus irrigation system. Since a large portion of the Centenary campus slopes toward the arboretum, a great deal of water run-off from campus irrigation is funneled through the arboretum. The bulltongue arrowheads have made use of this extra water. So, at this point, transplanting in late summer has been successful. |
