Back with fresh content. Let’s see. TREE POST (some of my thoughts about some of them)
First we have: the bi(r)ch
Idk what to say about it other than... this is the absolute pick-me-girl of trees. I mean. Pretty unique bark and the way leaves dangle is also quite cool. But yeah, my appreciation for this tree comes only from aesthetics, so yea SHALLOW.... let’s move on
The field maple! Saw this one irl for the first time a few days ago. I had so much trouble identifying it. It’s not unlike others from the acer genus but the unique thing it’s got going for it is the fact the tips of the leaves are blunt (it’s not the only one, or the most unique but still, most maple leaves are pointy from what I’ve seen). Also, the samaras (those capsules that hold the seeds and fly away) are red when fully developed so that’s really nice. Not pictured here, I found a young one.
Next tree on the list: black locust tree
This one is absolutely disgusting because... well I’m quite tired of seeing it. They are an invasive species here, they do help tho, the wood’s good and they don’t mind sandy soils so they are planted to make the ground more stable... buuut I’ve recently been on a trip to the region they’ve originally been imported into AND OH BOY THEY ARE EVERYWHERE I’M SICK. Yeah, I just don’t enjoy them... also another thing of note, these are very toxic, they can leave the horse depressed, sick and anorexic apparently. So yeah, don’t even think about chewing on this(not that you would but...) ALSO THEY ARE AN ACACIA IMPERSONATOR. Honestly, no morals ?! How’d this tree get away with this?! (...must be the flowers, I agree those are pretty)
Next is the absolute girlboss and child abuser, provider of the nuttiest flavours, a classic and well know PvZ disposable producer, THE COMMON WALNUT TREE
These are cool. Although, I don’t agree with the violence. See, you’ve probably observed that sometimes (most of the times) you just won’t see much growing underneath these, and you probably know this already since it is pretty a pretty iconic girlboss move... Walnut trees store an organic compound called juglone in their leaves (side note: I’ve read the original product is hydrojuglone then it gets oxidised in the air becoming what’s known as juglone lol) that inhibits other plants’ enzymes and yeah, stops them from proceeding with their vital processes. So it is like a natural herbicide. This tree is a fearful competitor, not going to lie...
Ok, talk over. I had a few more trees to talk about, but maybe for the next silly post (the trees were linden, magnolia, paulownia lol)
