Native Trees and Shrubs
Online/Virtual
If someone were to ask you, "What's a Native plant," would you say a TREE??Yes, trees and shrubs are part of the gorgeous palate of native plants.?You'll be amazed at all the wonderful trees and shrubs that are native locally and are beneficial to plant here in Illinois. Find a species that adds biodiversity to your yard or that replaces an ash that succumbed to emerald ash borer. Find out about host plants, damaging insects, and the use of systemic insecticides.
There will be photos and information about each tree and shrub discussed, many in various seasons of the year. There will also be photos and information about leaving dead trees and snags standing as habitat, and about fungi on fallen trees.
