Cottonwood? The Kotex Tree - it sucks up more moisture than any other wood. And, uh, it stinks when wet.
I didn't find it, I made it. That's the same three logs that Horkin "threw up", cut out, turned and stretched and turned into strips of bacon and resized in Photoshop, throw in a frypan, and a kitchen stove. Was my thing in another life. "Mom! There's something really wrong with my eggs!" "They're fine Brad, they're what you'll look like on the firewoodhoardersclub someday."
I have a red oak tree sapling that I planted in our front yard. I am noticing the bark when it is so young is definitely red. I am thinking that is probably how it got it’s name. Would make sense anyhow...
I'm teaching my five year old how to identify trees. Spike ball tree = sweet gum string bean tree = Catalpa Helicopter tree = maple (silver)
We do, but not many. That would be the mini hedgehog tree. Growing up we had what was called a horse chestnut tree on our property. I stepped on those spiky things countless times. They also found there way into the leaf piles we used to jump in.
