01
Tulip poplar
This Tulip Poplar has guarded our house for over 40 years and has provided nectar for honey bees for as long.
02
Catalpa
This Catalpa tree is a Witness Tree. It saw troop movements and encampments during the Civil War. Its trunk is over 6ft in diameter.
03
Black Walnut
This towering black walnut tree has weathered storms and seen lives come and go. It provides walnuts for squirrels and perches for birds, including hawks and eagles.
04
Willow Oak
It is the biggest tree in the front field and stands out beautifully. I love to watch the landscape change around it and watch the tree change with the seasons.
05
Gingko
Stunning to look at, cool history.
06
American Sycamore
Seymour is our Downtown Greens Witness Tree. I appreciate that about her. She has watched us grow just as we have watched them grow.
