Lee residents are being urged to help look after our young trees during the very hot, dry spell.
The trees we have planted in local streets and in Manor House Gardens are very vulnerable if there is no rain for several weeks.
Ideally give a young tree at least five litres of water, two or three times a week during the dry spell. Many trees have a water pipe: you should pour half the quantity (two or three litres) down the pipe and the rest on the surface around the tree.
If you see a young tree looking distressed even after you have watered it, please let us know by leaving a comment below or by emailing leemanorsociety@gmail.com
