Celosia growth notes include crested and plumed forms
Celosias known as cockscomb or prince's feather originate from kelos meaning burned. Crested types have dense crowns while plumed types show feathery tips. Easy annuals tolerant of heat with minimal pests, seeds tiny and should be sown shallowly. Prairie Fire and Toreador are highlighted varieties with respective crest sizes.
Tree Roots Safe Digging Advice From Horticulturists
Horticulturists advise avoiding damage to tree roots when digging for sewer lines. If trenching around a tree is impossible, tunnel beneath it. When passing the side of a tree, minimize root cutting and make clean cuts, then treat wounds with a dressing.
Back fill trench promptly to cover exposed roots
Recommend asphalt-base paint for trench back fill to seal roots quickly. Apply promptly to prevent air exposure and protect root health.
