Up In the Air
A dead tree fell in a storm. It got snagged on another tree, so is stuck up in the air in a dangerous position.
Weeping Willow Water
Weeping Willows look great by ponds, so I planted Queen’s Gold Weeping Willows along the edge of the pond. These willow hybrid trees grow very fast with a lot of moisture.
Purple Catalpa Seedlings
The Purple Catalpa seedlings continue to grow and have new purple foliage. As can be seen in the photo, the older leaves turn green.
Northstar Cherry
The North Star Cherry is full of fruit this year. The cherry fruit is good for use in desserts.
Christmas Tree
The mulberry trees are loaded with fruit this year. The unripe fruit makes the trees look as red as they are green, nice Christmas colors.
Staghorn Sumac Attracts Pollinators
The flowers on the Staghorn Sumac(Rhus typhina) are attracting a lot of insects now.
Army Worm Damage
I have not seen this happen here before, but there was a scourge of army worms that marched across a hay field and ate all the grass in their path.
Diego Ceballos Tree
I planted this Princeton Elm tree a couple months after my nephew died, in memory of him. The Sun and clouds made it look like an angel was shining above the tree.
Hardy Rubber Tree
The Hardy Rubber tree(Eucommia ulmoides) is the only tree that produces rubber in temperate climates. When tearing the leaves, the rubber is visible in the strands that keep the leaf from falling apart. This rubber tree is easy to grow from seed.
