I went around the block not far from my office for Wednesday Walk by @tattoodjay.
It occurred to me, after taking these photos, that I hardly know much about trees.
Other than the basics and knowing the names of a few trees, I know not much about this wonderful creation.
So I decided I will learn about the trees that are in this lot.
I glance upon them, and gosh, they have been here ever since I've been working here.
They are like people, ignored by me, and they are just there!
How would you feel if you were ignored for years and years?!
So I walked to each tree and took a photo of each one. These were planted for shade. All of them are more that 15 years old, and they are much older that since I have worked in the area for that long.
When I have the time, I'll find out by researching the names of each of these trees. I have no idea what they are!
Do you know these trees? Except for the two trees below, I don't have the faintest clue.
These two trees above are called "Windmill Palm Tree". It is one of the most cold-tolerant of the palm tree varieties. The Windmill Palm, Scientific name is Trachycarpus fortunei.
The windmill palm has fan-shaped leaves that are 3 feet in length, and which give the tree its name. The leaf shafts produce fibers that cover the trunk and can be made into ropes, mats, brushes, brooms, or even hats. The leaves are also sometimes used in thatched roofs.
