    Virginia top 100 Trees

    Anybody know of any remarkable trees around here? I noticed they are only 2 from Wise. They are a few from Lee and Washington.

    Locust trees also have the legume pods and are all over the state . I also have a large ornimental Mimosa tree that has pods ad the usually hang til December after I've quit mowing then drop .
    Life is a grindstone . Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up , depends on what we are made of .

    Catawba trees produce a caterpillar that is killer bait for fishing. They grown near the railroads tracks behind the old hardees in Norton. You will notice they have leaves that have been eaten. You can shake the tree and they will fall.
