NEW DATE: WEEK OF JULY 20

As previously mentioned, the rejuvenation pruning for the Elaeagnus throughout the community will commence on Monday, JULY 20.  The rejuvenation will take the Elaeagnus down  significantly in order to allow more light to reach the lower limbs.  The Elaeagnus will be treated at the same time for the fungus that is currently affecting the plants.  Do not be surprised by the significant cut back.  And, please do not interrupt the Ruppert crew during this pruning.

If you have any questions, please contact Hope Weber or
Peggy Akers.

Thank you.

We have identified that the Elaeagnus  (common name, Silverberry) shrub throughout the community has a fungus.  After consultation with Ruppert, the Landscape Committee has engaged Ruppert for a special rejuvenation project to significantly prune the Elaeagnus and then apply an appropriate treatment to hopefully eliminate the fungus.  All of the Elaeagnus along the sides and rears of homes on Woodbury and for several homes that face Weathersfield will be addressed as well as other areas of the community that has this shrub.  This rejuvenation is only for ELAEAGNUS, not other shrubbery. IT WILL BE A SEPARATE PRUNING PROJECT – THE DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN ESTABLISHED BUT HOMEOWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE DATE IS ESTABLISHED.

Thank you – The Landscape Committee
