Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: Eau de Ginkgo
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/02/eau-de-ginkgo.html
Sunday, February 17, 2008. The illustration is my own. The Ginkgo is lovely with a reputation of smelling bad. Now in my years in southern California I did encounter two stinkers in the Tree kingdom, neither of which are the Ginkgo. The first is the Ailanthus, Tree of Heaven. The cambium and leaves of this tree give off a foul smell when crushed. The pollen of the male stinks. The worst stinker I have met is the Acacia. This fellow's cologne smells something akin to axle grease! My Psalm 1 Tree. I am all...

Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: The Matriarch Cottonwood
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/05/matriarch-cottonwood.html
Friday, May 2, 2008. I wonder if the owner of this little house intend on keeping this beauty indefinitely or will they lose patience with her cottony mess and have her cut down? I only hope the owner appreciates trees as much as I do. So, you run a chat forum. You allow your moderators to start fights with people, then you ban the person when they respond to it. What sort of cowardice is that? Why dont you just admit to people when they join that you dont run it by any standards? I am a friendly person-...

Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: Apple
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/02/apple.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. Image is a necklace made from a tiny spoon engraved with an image of a tree. Each of the beads on the necklace suggest an apple. Only a very few apples ever become a tree. This is a poem I wrote in 2003. The Tale of Apple. By R E. Woods-Marks. Beside the barn was a tree. Up high in the tree was Apple. She was quite content all shiny and red. Apple looked out over the farm. She saw the cows grazing,. And the dogs playing. With her were her brothers and sisters. Yes," Apple sa...

Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: House Hugger
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/02/house-hugger.html
Monday, February 18, 2008. Englemann Spruce 'hag' that lives in front of my house. I may not have a sassy lovely Oak on my property, but it is a haven for very old yet still healthy trees. My spruce still has a thick crown. Each Spring, her new growth is almost silver white in a stunning display. The wife of the man who built the house in 1968, say the grove long predates the house. That old Spruce hag looked the same in 1968. February 18, 2008 at 9:15 PM. Thank you for visiting:). My Psalm 1 Tree. I am ...

Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: My Psalm 1 Tree
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-psalm-1-tree.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2008. My Psalm 1 Tree. 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1: 1-3. So what is Bill's secret?

Leafy Friends, a Blog about Trees: Cottonwood Skeletons
http://leafyfriends.blogspot.com/2008/02/cottonwood-skeletons.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. I found and photographed these on my morning walk through the Windom Conservation Center. The first photograph is a dead skeleton still standing on its foot. There are no twigs on it with buds that promise spring growth. Even in Winter it is easy to tell a dead Cottonwood from a living one. Cottonwood groves start out dense along a water course, then thin out as other kinds of trees move in, until there are only a few very old venerable specimens left. If the mixed forest...
