Ha, yep I took it. Mavic Air 2 and each panorama was stitched together and edited in Adobe Lightroom.

All of the trees on the KSU were incredible today. The whole campus looked glorious today. I walked around and basked wonder of fall and then took a nap on the 4th floor of Hale Library for old time sake.

We're finally hitting that good color time down here in Louisiana.

The house we moved into has no trees at all on the property. We've got a decent sized lot so the plan is to plant quite a few trees over the next few years. If you had a choice, which ones would you plant?
I'm against maples, too many people have them. Ms. WW hates Oaks because she thinks she'll be infested with oak mites 24/7.

I'm leaning towards a couple London Plane Trees in the backyard. They grow quickly, big AF, and have cool bark. They're messy but worth it, imo.

In the front, maybe a Lacebark Elm. They are sturdy trees and have neat bark too.

Ms WW really wants a weeping willow for some reason so we may do that at the back of the lot.

WW--you should definitely look at resources from your local ag extension agency to determine which trees are best for your area. The trees they recommend will be much heartier, pest resistant, attract pollinators and birds, etc.

Trees that grow fast often break in storms. Weeping willows are v cool but have roots that are invasive AF and can mess with your driveway/foundation.

If you're in Kansas, check out this doc from the Kansas Dept of Forestry:

As an added bonus, this doc was created literally across the street from Dunne's Pharmacy, the BITB pharmacy in all of the Sunflower State.

that's a cool doc. Definitely will rethink the Lacebark Elm as it appears only suitable for SW KS. From what I read, the London Plane Trees lose small branches but are fairly strong otherwise.
We would defintely have the WW in the far back of the place. I also want to plant some unique stuff back there to see what I can have actually take off.

Just plant a bunch of cherry and apple trees.

WW, you seem like a lovely person, but your opinion on maples is trash

That said, I planted some tulip trees a few years back and they are really cool. Fast growing, sturdy (tough combo to find), and turn a beautiful yellow in fall.

Also autumn blaze maples. Get some of those.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #291 on:** May 01, 2024, 02:25:55 PM »

Look man, i know theyre nice and all. but boring.
Thanks for the tidbit on the Tulip Trees, those were in consideration!

This summer has mostly ruled. It was incredible last night and this morning. Going to heat up this weekend though.

Weather has been so much better this summer. A year ago, we were in the middle of seven days of 105+ temps here in central ks.

Perfect hoodie and shorts morning. 57 degrees when I took the pup for his walk.

I was out for a jog yesterday and saw some that were blooming again for some reason.
