New Sycamore Forest, Santa Teresa Park, 11/26/22 by Ronald Horii
Santa Teresa County Park is getting a new forest of native western sycamore trees in the Pueblo Area. They came from Devil Mountain Nursery (https://devilmountainnursery.com/). They were actually rescues and were not purchased or previously planned. The trees were getting pot-bound and would have ended up in the chipper if the County Parks hadn't agreed to take them as a donation. I first saw them in May. They were stored in the Pueblo Area's corral and had a network of pipes to supply water. They started to plant them in the fall, with help from students at West College's Park Management Program. When I came to see the park on 11/26/22, most of the trees were planted. Here are pictures from 5/9-11/26/22. Here's park information and the park map: https://parks.sccgov.org/santa-clara-county-parks/santa-teresa-county-park
