The 2021 Landmark Tree is the Bur-Post oak hybrid (Q. x guadalupensis Sarg.) in Maplewood Cemetery. Burr Oaks are known to hybridize with nine oak species. Yesterday we found a break in the weather to carefully remove English Ivy from the base of this majestic tree.
After snowy and rainy days, we had a beautiful sunny day for pruning young trees along the John Warner Parkway and by the Dogwood Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Seven stalwart tree stewards we’re glad to join in and prune these trees.
