We had a new tree
planted on the winter solstice. The tree was a grant from the 2011 Arlington
County Tree Canopy Fund, whose purpose is to restore and increase tree cover in
this urban area.
Our serviceberry,
also called juneberry, looks more like a bush than a tree with multiple stems. It
sits near the front sidewalk and replaces a pine that was removed because of interference
with power lines.
Many people think
that the serviceberry tree is one of the most beautiful trees in the US,
according to my research. I will take it on faith that the beauty
will emerge when it blooms in the spring.
Thanks to Michael Reamy
and the Tree Stewards http://treestewards.org/ for their assistance with site selection and coordinating
planting.
Welcome, tree!
