A Year With the Trees

I write "A Year With the Trees" to bring an awareness to the world about the importance of trees to the future of our planet. Planting and being stewards of trees native to where you live is of vital importance for the health of animals, insects, birds, all life, including our own. I am studying the trees that are native to Southern Appalachia, where I live. This blog illustrates 92 trees and why we need to be responsible to keep native plant communities alive and well.

January 29 - Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia

The Crepe Myrtle Tree

This tree's seed pods glow in the winter's evening sunlight, and the bark always amazes me the way it reflects the light of the day.

We have several crepes in our yard. Among the favorite. Just wish the blooms lasted longer. Bird love these trees.
