Good morning. Pieter Severynen, who brings us Tree of the Week, is under the weather this week. We wish him a speedy recovery. In the meantime, from the L.A. Land archives, one of Pieter’s greatest hits from last spring.
‘Did you know that the city of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power gives away trees? Visit Trees for a Green LA or call 1-800-GreenLA. At the various tree giveaways in the city, the Purple Leaf Plum is usually the first one to go. Most people fall in love with its deep, dark, purple foliage.
P.c.‘Thundercloud’.’
Thanks, Pieter. Get well soon.
