tree survey

I've actually been working on the tree survey project - started at Westwood Park yesterday, did more today, hope to finish that park tomorrow -



Found a whole bunch of Strawberry Madrones along the perimeter of the park, but didn't recognize them until John found some fruit, so I thought I'd take a leaf sample to help me remember the next time I see some. Must be close to thirty or forty of them, so I'm getting pretty familiar with them anyway...




Another big shrub, really, that we had to bring back a leaf sample to Rob to tell what it was - Cotoneaster, of some sort - not really a tree, but good to know regardless.







I knew this tree but I wanted to get a leaf sample because I like their simple grace - South African Sumac.
