While visiting the Arbor Day Foundation website, I found a few interesting tidbits of information:
"The net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day."—U.S. Department of Agriculture
Trees also produce oxygen, reduce carbon dioxide from the air and increase property values. What is not to love about a tree!
This week we planted a new tree in the yard. There are also twenty-eight trees started from seed that are growing in my greenhouse anxiously waiting for their day to move outside into the ground.
