How many tree species do you have in your yard?

[Tsiyu]

8. 5 acres of everything

holly, oak, hickory, dogwood, sourwood, maple (red and sugar), sycamore, poplar....every kind of Eastern hardwood. Cedar, laurel, apples and white pines.

The favorite are the hemlocks, though the woody adelgid (sp?) is killing many. One of mine is 40 ft tall, another around 25 ft and one I transplanted is now my height. I want to transplant more (there are babies all in the woods) but I am afraid of the WA, so I am considering another evergreen as a screen.

Great question.

Edit to add: the previous owners put in a bradford pear, which i (hate) and will cut down this year....too much risk as it is next to the power line.
