Imagine That! Readers Prefer Big Trees
The results of the latest poll are in. Readers of Tree News were asked, "What kind of landscape do you prefer around your house?" 51% of respondents prefer as many big shade trees as possible 39% of respondents prefer one or two shade trees and some small ornamentals 3% of respondents apparently live in a desert None of the respondents prefer only small ornamental trees in their landscape, and none of the respondents prefer that trees just go away and stay in the forest. It makes sense that a majority of our readers love shade trees. What's remarkable, is that a small percentage reported living in a desert. It is likely that some of these readers were just being silly when they indicated this preference; however after studying the geographic locations of our growing readership, I can see how many may simply live in arid places - Portugal, Persia, etc.
