Can I add a tree ? its a plant but not a garden variety like the subject here.
This is by way of a warning to those who are developing a large lot and adding trees.
The River Birch is the biggest pain. Even worse than Willows
It sheds something all year round.
Winter: small and large branches in wind storms
Spring: Catkins that blow everywhere and followed by blossom shells or seed covers
Summer: small branches
Fall: Leaves of course but small branches.
The RB we have is planted next to the garage which has the entrance to the kitchen in it. The door has to be closed in spring,summer,and fall because breezes carry the dropped stuff into the garage not to mention tracking into cars and the house from the driveway.
Just sayin keep it away from trafficked areas.
