In the heart of our project stood a lone Bradford Pear that has been the subject of debate for years.
On the one hand Bradford Pears need to be eradicated--we've been slaying the offspring of this tree for years. Rachel up at Rachel's Native Plants has been removing them to build her woodland gardens.
On the other hand is the acute need for shade. You can put up shade cloth. And umbrellas. And metal structures. But nothing beats the shade of a tree.
My buddy Andy Erickson came by yesterday. He's an arborist. He got his saws and rope out of the truck, I jumped on the Bobcat to remove the biomass, and the execution of the Bradford Pear was complete. Left behind is an heirloom pear that was being metabolized by the Bradford.
Karen DiNato of Nurtured by Nature Growers will be coming out to graft multiple heirloom and Asian varieties to the stump. That will happen around 10:00 on March 8th--the morning of the One Year Anniversary Gala of the Tree Museum. That afternoon Fair Game will be releasing it's newly legal Wild Foraged Black Walnut Whiskey. Come join us for the celebration.
Before then, On Thursday, March 5th at 6:00 at the Library, our neighbors at Hickory Mountain are hosting a discussion on how to save trees on the western side of town. Turn out matters when it comes to arresting development. Hope to see you there.
