🌲Tree of the Week🌲
American Elm was one of the most popular trees to plant in America at the turn of the century. Well-known for it's beautiful canopy and hardy nature, Elms can be found throughout many outdoor and city spaces.
American Elms can reach heights of 40 to 80 feet, and the canopy can expand up to 40 feet in diameter. Elms are often used for beautification or landscaping purposes, and provide lots of shade!
Unfortunately, American Elm is very susceptible to Dutch Elm disease and a few pests prefer American Elm as a host tree. There are resistant strains of Elm though. In Colorado, Slippery Elm is one of the native species, and is often used to treat a sore throat.
We are offering American Elm in Bare Root (25 per bundle) this year for $40 per bundle! Order online at www.morganconservationdistrict.com, or by contacting us at [email protected] or 970-427-3362
We can also help plan a windbreak or tree planting for you if you need help!
We've still got plenty of Junipers left! Order now online at www.morganconservationdistrict.com/shop or contact us at 970-427-3362 or [email protected]
🌲Tree of the Week🌲
Many of you might know of Rocky Mountain Junipers as a hardy, drought-resistant tree that is excellent for windbreaks, soil erosion, and wildlife habitat! Junipers grow quickly and withstand the Colorado climate very well. At full maturity, they can reach heights of 15-30 feet, and expand 10-15 feet in diameter. They are our #1 seller for a reason!
Deer and a variety of bird species enjoy the cover that Juniper's can provide, and deer are also known to eat many of the Juniper berries. To combat this, landowners can place coffee grounds or soap shavings around the tree, or use products such as PlantSkydd.
The berries can also be used by humans in a variety of ways, and most are edible but can be toxic, so use caution. Juniper berries should not be consumed by anyone with kidney issues or if they are pregnant.
We are offering Junipers in bareroot (25 per bundle) or large (10 per bundle) this year for $40 per bundle! Order online at www.morganconservationdistrict.com, or by contacting us at [email protected] or 970-427-3362

🌲Tree of the Week🌲
Wild Rose is a well-know shrub that is often used for landscaping or beautification purposes. It is a member of the Rosaceae family, and has many variations.
Roses will develop rosehips, which are the highest naturally occurring form of Vitamin C. Rosehips, rose leaves, and petals can be used medicinally or for personal use.
Many small animals like birds and rabbits can be found near this shrub. It will reach heights of 2-6 feet at most, and is found in native habitats close to rivers, streams, or wooded areas.

🌲Tree of the Week🌲
As one of the most popular Evergreen species, Colorado Blue Spruce stands tall, reaching heights of 10-20 feet. Spruce's don't grow quite as fast as Juniper's or Cedar's, but in a year, one can expect the tree to grow anywhere between 1 and 2 feet. Spruce's do well in the Colorado climate, and can adapt to a variety of soil conditions. They do require full sun though.
This tree was first discovered in the beautiful Colorado mountains in 1862. It is a unique tree, with slight resemblance to Christmas trees, but with a beautiful silver blue hue.
Many bird species enjoy nesting in Spruce's, and can be found nearby.
We are offering Blue Spruce's in Large (10 per bundle) this year for $40 per bundle! Order online at www.morganconservationdistrict.com, or by contacting us at [email protected] or 970-427-3362

The webinar was held Monday, February 7th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. Topics addressed were: the mechanics of ARC/PLC and the limitations of ARC for fruit and vegetable producers, and the payment outlook in 2022 for ARC-CO/PLC for the major program crops in Colorado.
