What can I do to my boulevard tree regarding maintenance?

Residents are encouraged to water their boulevard trees if there is an extended hot and/or dry spell. Staking of young trees is also allowed.   If your boulevard tree has sucker shoots coming up from the base or trunk, you are allowed to cut these shoots off. Any other tree maintenance must be done by city crews.
