 We've
always been attracted to the three on the north side of the
Public Library in Blair (see photos below.) Plus,
there are a number of these trees plant in Lawrence, Kansas
-- a city we visit often. After numerous internet
searches, we were able to identify it as a Golden Raintree.
With a little more research, we found that the National
Arbor Day Foundation lists the tree as one of their top 10
ornamental shade trees for the region. We've also been able
to identify one other rain tree here is Blair. |
