permaculture

["Treesa Jane Rogerson" <treemail@cruzio.com>]

Just remember how invasive those quickie Paulownias are!!!  Not to mention
the dense surface roots for interplanting.  Ever considered the eastern US
native Tulip Tree- Liriodendron tulipifera?  Gets so so tall, beautiful tall
and straight columnar, 60-80 feet, Fast, good water holder.  Good shade
tree.  Just keep out of high wind sector if possible.

YOU MAKE ME MISS MY FIRST HOME (Western NC)!  I'm going outside now!
