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.

The Honey Locust Tree

Each season this tree is going to be quite different. Right now, it is leafless and there are many thorny spikes growing right out of the trunk.

This Honey Locust tree lives at the Asheville Botanical Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina.
