The DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia) area has been experiencing remarkable heat his summer. A question can be phased :what tree species may benefit from this? Cordially yours, Geoff Patton, Ph.D. 2208 Parker Ave., Wheaton, MD 20902  301.221.9536

One of the best ways to beat the heat is shade. Thus, if the discomfort leads the citizens of the area to plant more shade trees, shade-tree species will benefit. Oaks and maples work fine, but so do dozens of other species. Martin Meiss 2010/8/10 Geoffrey Patton
