George, Thanks for getting those pix. I hope you can take pic from the same spot when they begin to leaf out. And I wonder how fast they will devour the landscape?!
Is that a hemlock struggling amidst those spiny fields o' the devil (#006)? I'll steal it for my paper on the hemlock/urban forest if that's okay! And you must be very nice not to have made your child go pose with the Aralia...or you're just not posting those pix... Thanks!
