It was a wonderful way to spend a cold afternoon. We are all ready, like the daffodils, to emerge into Spring. I have decided, after many tree ID walks, to try to learn just one tree at a time. For me, the tree of the day was Hackberry. I love the name and the way you described the bark as looking like a pie crust. We felt that the bark looked a little like psoriasis but pie crust is much more lyrical.

Thank you Kate, it was great to see the trees you have talked about. And also fun to meet and talk to some of the gang we meet on your web page. Could there be another walk when the leaves come out?

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Kate! I learned that identifying twigs is not so easy!
