Sorry for the delay! A bit of a good news, bad news scenario -- the tree is looking as good as ever, as you can see from the photos below....
Very interesting! I knew of "Taylor", but didn't realize it was a sport of "Butterfly". They are certainly similar, although I thought "Taylor"...
Hi Alain, glad you enjoyed your trip. We're in Jackson Hole currently, and have been to Cheyenne previously. Wyoming is a beautiful state,...
