established normal rainfall or in some cases occasional watering the hottest weather is all that is required. L = light or watering need; once established water every 3 -4 weeks depending upon severity of heat in the summer. M = moderate water need; once established watering should be every two weeks depending upon severity of heat in the summer. FIREWISE: "Firewise" is the practice of using the plants so designated in landscapes to minimize fire hazard to structures, residents and neighbors. These plants will decrease fuel between your home and the surrounding wildland. They do not guarantee fire safety but define a defensible space around the home that assists in firefighting, assuming they are installed in the proper locations and are maintained. FIREWISE Comments
