We saw many of them in New Mexico and Arizona, too, where the conditions are also harsh. We also have several right here in my neighborhood, where they snow down on the gardens during the early summer. But they're such beneficial trees for so many reasons. Thanks for the history. I'll have to plan to visit Ft. Laramie sometime.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
