This is one of the Heritage trees in Medicine Hat. It’s a 137 year old Plains Cottonwood tree planted in 1888. My wife is checking out the sign attached to the tree. Alt Text for details. The trunk is close to 2 metres (7 feet) across. See Alt Text.

Photo of the sign my wife was reading on the trees trunk. it reads: Heritage Tree Plains Cottonwood, Latin name Populous deltoids sargentii 1888. www.heritagetreefoundation.com" Photo of the 137 year old Plains Cottonwood tree from across the street. The tree is about 15 metres (48 feet) tall. The main trunk of the tree split off into four large secondary trunks which in turn split off again as it grew and branched out. The bark is grey to black in colour and the foliage is full and dark green. In the background is an iron fenced in parking lot for the brick building on the one side of the tree.

Great end to April. I'm part of a policy working group of tree advocates, Openlands & Morton Arboretum that presented to the City of Chicago Urban Forest Advisory Board & they voted YES for us to develop a #HeritageTree ordinance to protect trees that have the greatest #publichealth & eco benefits!🌳

What we saw on our walk today:

1. A blue Dragon fly following us on the path.
2. A Chokecherry tree loaded with berries
3. A wild Black Currant bush also with berries
4. A 137 year old Plains Cottonwood Tree. See Alt text & following post.

Photo of a Blue Dragonfly perched on a weed beside the path we were on. The Dragonfly seemed to be following us and would dart in front of us every once in a while, to land on a weed, or plant. We were probably scaring up insects it was preying on. The dragonfly is blue with black markings along its body. Its wings remained tucked in along its body, while it was perched. Photo of a wild Chokecherry Tree along our path. This one is loaded with red berries to set off its bright green leaves. Photo of a wild Black Currant bush that was adjacent to the Chokecherry tree in the previous picture. It had very few currants on it and had probably been picked over by people, or deer. Currant bushes are generally deer resistant, but a hungry deer might have munched on it. A photo of my wife standing beside the Hargrave Heritage Plains Cottonwood tree. It's located about a block from the path we were following, but we stopped by on the way home. It is a living tree with grey and black bark. I have more pictures in the following post of this tree. For reference, my wife standing beside the trunk is 1.6 metres(5.3 feet) tall. The tree's trunk is close to 2 metres (7 feet) across. It was planted in 1888, by one of the early trading store owners in Medicine Hat, James Hargrave.

On our walk today we found another Heritage Tree in a grove of them in Police Point Park, Medicine Hat, AB. The sign dates the grove to 1707. The tree has a few warts, but wouldn't you at that age. Also a view of the South Saskatchewan River. Alt Text for details.

#HeritageTree #Nature #Canada
A photo of a sign post reading: Heritage Tree Grove Plains Cottonwood, Latin name, Populous deltoids sargentii and the year the tree was dated from, which was 1707. www.heritagetreefoundation.com. The sign is placed in the ground just in front of the trees large trunk. There are many large old, naturally occurring, cottonwood trees along the path which is why it's considered a grove. A photo of the tree from a short distance back showing the huge wooden growth on the side of the tree. I did a Duck Duck Go search and from what I found, I think it's called a "gall". A gall can be formed by insects secreting chemicals which the tree identifies as its own growth hormones. This stimulates abnormal plant growth. Being over three hundred years old, this tree produced a big cancer like lump on the side of its trunk. Another photo of the same tree, but further back showing at some point the tree may have been struck by lightning breaking off the top part of the trunk. The trunk appears to be hollowed out at the top. You would think the tree should be dead and some of the limbs are bare and dead looking, while other limbs are full of green healthy leaves. The Plains Cottonwood is a very tough tree to kill, which is why they're so long lived. A photo from the South East, of the South Saskatchewan River. It's taken from the walking path we were on at Police Point Park. The river flow is high this year. We've had two to three times the normal precipitation, so the grass in the foreground is very green compared to the brown of other years. The vegetation and trees as you move closer to the river bank is also very green. The sky above the clouds is a vivid blue and the sun is showing a yellow corona as it shines through the moving wispy white clouds. The clouds appear as if they are being drawn to follow the river flow as it travels East.
