Black Walnut at 3726 SW 48th Summer 2007

"In October 2005 the Black Walnut tree on 48th Place celebrated its 100th birthday. Gerel and Henry Blauer invited neighbors to the birthday party. Folks greeted and admired the centennial Black Walnut, played "Guess the Circumference " game and enjoyed dessert. When spring comes and Old Black Walnut is looking its best, the History Committee will take its picture and post it here." - Ginger Danzer

Oak as seen from SW Hamilton Ct off SW 39th Dr Summer 2007. "In 1997, an arborist did a core sample and found the tree to be 334 years old. Now, in 2007, it would be 344. It is a very old tree that houses birds, squirrels, and the mama raccoon who trains her young each spring." - Joan Leigh
