“Trees are good! And now we are beginning to be able to measure and understand just how good; for sequestering carbon, for filtering air pollutants, for mitigating storm water, and for providing that soft texture and color to an otherwise hard urban landscape. FTLA has the state-of-the-art arboriculture/urban forestry knowledge and skills to provide green solutions for brown spaces.”
Favorite plant: Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata) Early spring glorious blooming screams “Winter is Over!!” Grey bark and medium full branching form makes for a landscape focal point. Also, lives a long happy life in Maryland
