Gripe of the Week
Are you looking to plant a tree this spring?
The botanical name is betula nigra.
Plus it drops leaves, twigs, and flaking bark nonstop.
You could plant a maple called October Glory.
you might try an Eastern Redbud if you like those lavender and pink flowers in the springtime.
And another one would be a European hornbeam.
