    Dear cottonwood,

    I appreciate the fact you want to reproduce and all that, but if you could keep your fluff ( paging Eric VW ) off my dayum yard, that'd be great.

    Thank you,

    Bocefus

    Seriously though....I don't even know where a cottonwood is around here. Why does it all land in my yard?

    I thought all of the "fluff" from the cottonwoods in the Midwest found its way to my a.c. condensing unit! LOL

    I hate when cottonwood fluff lands on my freshly painted car parts and end up having to redo them. Not to mention when you breathe it in. Nothing but a TRASH tree and if that makes me a wood snob, oh well...I have standards for what I think is a decent tree and cottonwood fails those standards miserably.

    Found this under the tree awhile back when it was in full force. This tree is coming down next fall...no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I just have to be careful not to damage the small mulberry growing up in it or the small tulip poplar nearby.
