Common name:Shamel Ash, Mexican Evergreen Ash
Botanical name:Fraxinus uhdei
This evergreen to semi-evergreen tree is both upright and narrow when young, but assumes a spreading form when older. Since it is shallow rooted, deep waterings are essential for deeper rootings. When the tree is young, any long, unsightly branches should be cut back.

Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
In the fall, unless it is very hot outside, you can reduce your total watering time by 1/2.
Do not reduce run times, reduce the number of watering days.
Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
