The scenery along a portion of Northeast Jacksonville Road is a little less cluttered these days, and some people are upset about it.

Crews hired by Duke Energy have cut down or significantly trimmed a number of large oak trees along the western side of the roadway, as the company upgrades its power lines and relocates them further back from traffic.

According to county documents, the project is part of Duke's plan to "storm-harden" its network along a 4.5-mile stretch between Anthony and Sparr.

"We're all disgusted by it," said Ed Hayden, who lives along the east side of Jacksonville Road. "Everybody thinks they're getting ready to turn it into a four-lane highway."

Duke Energy spokesman Sterling Ivey said the project required some "vegetation management" work in order to ensure the power would continue to flow smoothly to the area.

The recent cutting comes not long after CSX Transportation did similar tree removal along almost three miles on the east side of Jacksonville Road, Hayden noted.

"The wind blows through here like a funnel," the Anthony resident said. "It's a regular dust bowl. All those trees that were 100 years old are gone."

Hayden said neighbors saw the contractor's trucks in the area weeks ago, and the clearing work slowly progressed.

Records show Duke has requested right-of-way access from the county for the stretch between Northeast 95th Street and 140th Street, although the permit by the county for the work in question narrows that to the area from 105th Lane and 120th Street.

(Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Small terraced waterfall along Red Butte Creek in Miller Park. The park in Salt Lake City's Yalecrest neighborhood will undergo a restoration project to begin this summer after bird nesting season and peak flows of Red Butte Creek whch runs the length of the park. The park will be closed during the restoration work from July through November to remove invasive species and establish native trees, shrubs and plants. The project will also restore the creek bed, reduce water velocity, stabilize the stream bank and make minor improvements to the walking trail and signage.

Great Salt Lake Audubon has forwarded scathing criticism and a warning to Salt Lake City concerning its restoration plan tree thinning and streambed fortification for the east sides Miller Park that straddles Red Butte Creek.

The criticism: Tree cutting in the park that runs from 1500 East to 1700 East at about 1000 South should not take place during the April-through-August nesting season.

The warning: Such activity could risk running afoul of the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act that prohibits taking any migratory bird, its nest or its eggs without a permit.

Nesting season could find western screech owls, American kestrels, passerine songbirds and other migratory birds sitting on eggs or feeding fledglings in Miller Park.

In the wake of the Audubon complaint, the project has now been pushed back from a planned April 15 start to July, according to city officials. It should take about six months to complete.

The operation would remove 275 non-native trees about 30 percent of the canopy along the small creek-side park that is a favorite among residents of the Yalecrest area. It also would re-establish native ground cover and shrubbery, as well as restore the streambed and shore up its banks.

Funding for the $765,000 undertaking comes from Chevron through the Utah Division of Water Quality as mitigation for Chevrons ruptured pipeline in June 2010 that sent oil down Red Butte Creek.

Great Salt Lake Audubon faults the project in a number of areas, most notably its timing.

Scheduling tree removal during nesting season and streambed work during high flows reveals a lack of expertise, said Audubon acting president Heather Dove.

Question: Our new home site has two large oaks loaded with Spanish moss. Can the moss choke the trees?

Answer: Spanish moss and its relative, ball moss, are often of concern but normally little threat to healthy trees and shrubs. Both are epiphytes, meaning they use the limbs and trunks for support. They do not take water or nutrients from the trees and only grow attached to the bark. Both plants manufacture their own food using water and nutrients from the air and decomposing plant portions.

When tree and shrub growth slows, both mosses can begin to overpower the plantings crowding sites normally filled with foliage. At this point, the moss is damaging. Old age, diseases or cultural conditions may cause the plantings to decline and the moss flourishes. In such cases, removing some of the moss and correcting the plant problems is necessary.

Q. We have been told by our pest-control company our brown-patch lawn disease is due to an abundance of oak trees in the yard. What should we do?

A. Oak trees are not directly responsible for brown patch, a warm-weather lawn disease that turns turf a straw color in somewhat circular patterns. Oak trees may, however, help create favorable conditions for the fungus. The organism likes moist, warm growing conditions and the trees could shelter the turf from the drying sun and breezes.

Control starts by realizing brown patch, also called large patch, could be a yearly problem starting in late fall and lasting through early spring. Plan to apply a fungicide labeled for brown-patch control once in November, December and February. These treatments should help reduce or prevent the disease. Also, discontinue fertilizer applications after mid-October to help new growth mature before brown patch weather.

Q. My neighbor from Ohio who lives here November through April is frustrated trying to grow good tomatoes. Could you suggest a variety that would grow well during the winter?

A. Here is the problem the best fruit-setting time for all tomatoes is when temperatures are between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Once November arrives, there are very few good fruit-setting days left, thus tomato production time is about over until April, when temperatures are again favorable. Maybe you could be a good neighbor and add tomato transplants to your neighbor's garden in late August or September. With your good care, the plants could set their fruits and be ripening by November.

Q. I have several poinsettias left from Christmas. What is the proper way to transplant and grow them in the yard?

A. Find your saved poinsettias a sunny-to-lightly shaded location. Improve sandy soils with lots of organic matter, then add the plants. Cover the surface of the soil with an inch layer of mulch and apply a slow-release fertilizer. Most gardeners also like to cut the plants back to within 12 to 18 inches of the ground. Keep the soil moist and continue light prunings after each foot of new growth through August to have plants in bloom by December.
