No doubt it is sitting back in the corner on top of the never uncrated 1970 Hemi...
We had them in NY. Almost a weed.
Saw this on ebay with no bids. Forgot about it, but it got relisted. Ended up some flipper tried to run the price up at the last minute. I wasn't sure it was the real thing until it arrived.
Its been wet, but hopefully not under water.

Looks right...
Found this article on a quick google search. 6 Trees You Should Never, Ever Plant | Southern Living Cotton wood is on the list as well as the Silver Maple I had removed recently.
Thats the way 90% nos looks. Bench check it before it goes in so tou know the rubber diaphragm is still good.
There's some things that really just aren't worth the hassle. Wisteria - especially down south. Paper Mulberries should be eliminated on sight as far as I'm concerned. Even the red native ones when too close to the house can be a bit much - but they at least have good eating and don't have quite as agresssive roots.
Bamboo has to be the worst! We inherited it by the road.
Yeah I hate this type of tree. This one is pushing 75-90 feet tall. 3 feet in diameter. Well was. The top is now in my yard. The branch that fell measures 14.5 inches across for about 12 feet
Man that writer is grumpy! Makes me look like Mr Sunshine. LOLLooks right...

I can think of many worse trees to plant than Hackberry. Alanthias - Treee of Heaven is probably number 1.
It’ll burn, but I wouldn’t use it for more than a camp fire. Doesn’t burn well unless seasoned a long time and even then, the heat out put isnt very good or long
I also have Mulberrys down back. LOL. AND, not dirty, but one of the most prolific weed trees of all Ailanthus/ Chinese Sumac. Remove a 40-50 foot one of those and many of its offspring. The article actually says the Cottonwood is good for firewood though.Looks right...

I have to improve my test set up. I want to get the sender vs pressure numbers. If it works it will go on the next engine. I wasn't able to remove the sender from the current engine with it in the car. I put a length of reisstance wire in the line so it shows about the right pressure on the gage.
Lol - se my last post. But nobody plants that, it just shows up.
I read it hackberry isn't that bad and makes great firewood.Looks right...

Cottonwood does have a long life span I have several 80 feet tall and probably 200 years old base on their size.
Bradford Pears are a little worthless tree. People in the area loose a portion of them in any wind storm. One nearby city has a proposed ban to plant them. They don't even burn well.
The front wall of Fort Hoppyland.
Alrighty. Breakfast time. Then back to finishing last night's mission - finding photos of me and my aunt for my cousin. They're putting togethe a slde show for my aunt's 100th!
it was and yes, all good here, thanks
New growth all over the yard this morning, green leaves everywhere
hope all is well , a cotton wood hit my sons house last week.
Think I will go get some of the garden planted. Going to a York Revolution baseball game with guys from work this afternoon...
There's one in the neighbor's backyard behind us. The birds and squirrls love it. It's not too bad - a little messy - not much worse than oak or maple. See worse aphid issues on other trees, including my Hawthorne.
I'm planting some alysum this year hoping it attracts natural predators called syphlid flies.
Mulberry (how many do you want), Cottonwood (lightning attractor and A/C condenser plugger), Bradford Pear (neighbor's gutter bender) Hackberry (sticks to pick up every day) THis old grump won't go on.
I need to do some planting today as well. Might as well get it in.
Oaks and hickory here on the hill, you should have seen them bending and dancing together yesterday at about 6pm.. new green leafs all over the ground.

Blackberries are coming in. Already seeing pears on the trees so could be another bumper harvest this fall.
I need to prune my blackberries and raspberries. Thanks for the reminder.
