It's true! I have no time for people offended by the truth.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

I grow tired of asking it. So this will be the last time. As a member of my absolutely amazing non-Native alliance — does this offend you in any way?

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

But great at surviving!

@sykesjeff So Blue!

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

@LakotaMan1 Definitely not discovered. More like infested.

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

@LakotaMan1 Hypocritical I agree. A lot don't follow their Golden Rule. Love they neighbor as thyself (may not be a direct quote). Love everyone!

@LongLiveTrees This is everywhere in Chicagoland. I work throughout the 7 county area and this is ubiquitous. Educating the customer to know this is wrong and demand mulch is done correctly is what I think works but it takes a long time to spread the word.

Why can't we all just get along?

[Kevin Baum @kevinbaum013]

Why must a college graduate who chose to forgo becoming a farmer be responsible for paying farm subsidies?

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

And probably will be here long after our white "civilization" has disappeared.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

I simply don’t understand why SOME non-Natives find this offensive. Asking my absolutely amazing non-Native alliance — are you offended by this?

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

Interesting statistic. I'm wondering if we as arborists have an obligation to report these trees especially in light of this data.

[Jeremy Barrell @JeremyDBarrell]

Research shows that about 70% of fatalities arising from tree failures come from roadside trees. This horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) has been dying for several years & is now posing a significant and foreseeable threat to road users. It needs to be urgently managed.

@LakotaMan1 I find powwows to be very emotionally and spiritually uplifting. I don't have any native blood in me but I respect and admire a lot of their beliefs as
I understand them. MAGAs are all about hate. They need to stop.

@LakotaMan1 NO

Looks like the response shown in the photo is appropriate.

[Jack Wallington @jackwallington]

Our patio is becoming a meadow, I should probably do ‘something’ about that ☕️

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

@MarkFunnell6 @GleadlessVTrees In Chicagoland they are just starting. Usually the trees bloom so much the smell is overwhelming. Our Redbuds (Cercis canadensis) were the best I've seen in 31+ years.

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

Black Locust is flowering in Chicagoland! This much maligned tree is one of my favorites.

My website https://t.co/ADi2ticwbv is live. Just a side hustle in what was my main hustle back in the 90's. Check it out!

@sj_unwin @salthepoet @SAVEDORETREES @melittlewhippet @DuchessLime @RobGMacfarlane Please give it a kiss for me

[Tree Guardian @QuercusAlba1]

Everytime I see a lawn like yours I want to stop and thank them for not poisoning the Earth. Thank you!

[Nicholas Milton @NicholasMilton]

Our tiny front lawn isn’t mown & I get regular complaints about it looking a mess in comparison with my neighbour who has plastic grass. But its got dandelions & red deadnettles which the bees love & I think it looks beautiful!! #NoMowMay @Love_plants @ChrisGPackham @Shitlawns
