Steve Sanders will present a class on fertilizing and Norman Summers will do a follow up of his spring demonstration on air layering. Those that did not pick up their pots, Mike Flannigan has them. The September meeting was a swap and sale meeting. There were many trees and pots that traded hands. In many cases what wasn't sold was raffled with the proceeds going to the club. UPCOMING EVENTS.

SEASONAL TIPS FOR LATE SUMMER AND EARLY FALL. WATERING: As the days get shorter and the nights cooler, trees will need less water, but be watchful for those hot dry winds. FERTILIZING: Fertilize through October. PRUNING: Don't routinely prune. With winter around the corner trees need all the strength possible. CHECK WIRE: If you did any wiring in the spring, check for marks and remove if necessary. TROPICALS :Be prepared to bring tropicals in when the temperatures drop below 55 degrees. While most tropicals can survive a lower temperature, it is best not to stress them before they come inside for the winter. This is the time of year when trees are nearing the end of the growing season, and leaves are getting yellow and spotted, worn from the head and sun. This is normal so don't panic.
