Ep 118. Bottlebrush Buckeyes Hide Tree Knees

In this episode, we meet my favorite understory shrub, Bottlebrush Buckeyes, and how I planted them to hide the Gnarly Tree Knees of Blue Spruce as they began dying from the bottom up from Canker Disease. We chat about recent flooding, downed Ash trees killed by emerald ash borers, and the declaration of mainstream media gloom and dooming the changes in climate. Nature is constantly changing. Nothing remains forever. But from endings come beginnings and renewal, encouraging listeners not to give up hope. Instead, be part of the change of kindness to our dear earth to help heal it. Nature is resilient. Related Stories and Helpful Links        Bottlebrush Buckeys Hide Tree Knees Spruce Disease DilemmasLawn to Woodland Shrubs                                                                      8888I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.
