Female Cottonwood Tree

Published on by Zents Music StudioLeave a comment

Yesterday my husband and I went for a walk.

We came upon a strange tree.

What is this kind of tree?

Hubby said it was a Cottonwood tree.

I saw “cotton” all over the ground.

I picked some up.

It was soft and white like cotton

I was amazed to learn that the male produced the pollen (causing allergies for some) and the female trees make the cotton.

The cotton is an appendage to help disperse the Cottonwood seeds so they do not fall at the base of the mother tree.

Cottonwood seeds on the ground look like a pillow exploded!

So, as they say, you learn something new every day!

Dwarf Lilac trees

Today we had our dwarf lilacs trees trimmed and more.

The men came early this morning to fix our overgrown trees.

They worked quickly and efficiently.

I am thankful for the local landscaping company, Rivercreek Nursery, for their hard teamwork.

Due to the cold weather this Spring, they are 3 weeks behind. Let’s hope they can catch-up on their projects.

The sun is out and today is a beautiful day! Let’s hope it that better days are on the way!🌞
