[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Carolyn Goyer]

Thank you very much for your responce....I have been very worried about my 
tree and now feel better because our watering schedule has worked for years 
and because we do fertilize on schedule.  (We just finished fertilizing our 
citrus.)  Carolyn Goyer
