huntr1 said:Talking about the bradford pears, next time you are heading north on 5 by Ed's Plant World, take a look off to the right after Earnshaw Rd., and before the bridge over the creek. You will see a clearing that is being reclaimed by trees. The vast majority of the trees are bradford pears. Based on the location, I would have to guess that they were "planted" as a result of birds eating the berries at Ed's and then depositing the pits over there.
See, it's crazy how certain plants take to an area and overwhelm it.. That's why I think people should make use of native plants.. It keeps the ecological balance intact..
My mom did just send me a link to a bamboo website.
www.americanbamboo.com
I love that stuff, who want's to go clear out my folks land and build me a house of bamboo!! Make sure you take a lok at the lady in the bamboo dress. :
