My son love apples. So in 2005 we got him an apple tree for his birthday. I know that it may seem like an odd gift to give an eleven year old boy, but it was actually very fun. It can take up to five years for an apple tree to start bearing and we […]
Cicadas sing of summer Simmering their sound In a round Calling for a mate Chanting and chirping Shouting out a warning A glorious cacophony A lullaby of summer Did you know… That only male cicadas make sing? The females make a small buzzing noise to talk to a mate, but only the male sings the […]
The Ginkgo biloba is originally from China and is an ancient species that may date back as far as the late Permian period of the Paleozoic Era. That’s about 260 to 251 million years ago – the age of the dinosaurs. That is before the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. This tree must be doing […]
Oh good grief! I just can’t catch up! I barely got anything done in May off my list of chores so most of it will have to carry over to June. I am, however, calling in extra troops – I’m going to have 1-2-Tree to limb up and thin all the trees. That will be […]
John and I spent our anniversary together today (or at least a few hours of it) at the Dallas Arboretum. Believe it or not, I had never been there.

Crape Myrtles (Lagerstroemia indica) are slow growing flowering trees or shrubs native to China. They come in all colors… pink, red, white, purple. OK, so there is not yellow, orange or blue there, but that is still an impressive array of colors, don’t you think? And they bloom all summer and on into the fall […]
I remember when I was little going to my Great Aunt Cora’s house in Commerce, TX and eating pomegranates from her trees. She had two or three lining one of those old driveways that was just two concrete strips with a strip of grass in between. Anyway, I fell in love with pomegranates way back […]
I love this tree. Do I say that about everything? I mean it about the Bald Cypress. I think it is gorgeous. It has the shape of an evergreen with lacy leaves, but it’s not. It turns a beautiful reddish-brown color in the fall before losing all it’s leaves for the winter. It is always […]
I went to high school in a suburb of Tulsa – yes, Tulsa is big enough to have several suburbs. We still get back there a couple of times a year. They have a non-profit organization there that has been promoting the preservation of Tulsa’s urban forests since 1976. There are signs everywhere that say […]
