Brockton Manor Homeowners Association – Notice of Special Meeting
Subject – Proposals for Front Common Area Tree & Shrub Maintenance in 2019
Monday November 19th, 2018 - 7:00 to 9:00pm @ the White River Trustees Office
2929, S. Morgantown Road (just south of the C.G. High School).
Dear Resident,
Prompted by the ongoing “Needle Drop” syndrome issue affecting and killing many Colorado
Spruce trees in and around our sub-division, and the fact our Brockton Manor sub-division is
now some 25 + years old, the Board recently took steps for a detailed Arborist study to
understand what the state of the nation is out there around our large front common entrance
where we have 33 mature Norway Spruce trees, 29 Crabapple trees and several Hawthorns
adorning the embankments.
This involved some detailed sample tree analysis where we are pleased to share the upside of
those findings in that all but one (diagnosed with Pine Weevil bugs) of the 33 Norway Spruce
Trees were found to be in relatively good shape, and free of the Needle Drop issue. However,
all did show a severe lack of nutrients and in need of some positive pressurized ground
fertilization. Unfortunately, the downside is with the 29 Crabapples where all are starting to
show development of attack called “Fireblight” that, if left untreated, will ultimately kill the
trees.
This latter issue is very treatable but where the Board felt it prudent to invite the Primary
Grounds Arborist to this meeting to present his proposed 2019 plan to the B.M. residents, with
particular emphasis on the Fireblight treatment that needs to commence in early February 2019
during the upcoming dormant season followed by fungicide spraying in the April / May time
frame etc.
We also have many plum bushes that are dead or dying where the presentation will also provide
proposals for some overdue spring recovery plantings.
The Board and Tree Committee Members look forward to your participation at the meeting to
field any questions that you may have.
The Brockton Manor Homeowners Association Annual Meeting
will be held on Monday, January 7, 2019, 7pm, at the Johnson County Library White River Branch, 1664 Library Blvd. The agenda and budget package will be distributed to residents mid-December.
