Allen,
If I lived near Nashville, I'd be collecting those fabulous Winged Elms
ulmus alata) that I see growing along I40, all over the place! .
I just went on a great W.E. and Hackberry collecting trip to Tulsa , Ok
area. They are real nice trees. Respond fast, great bark, nice foliage, etc.

Forget the Mtn. Laurel....

Subject: [IBC] Making a weekend trip - Collecting Oppty's near Asheville, NC


I'm making a trip to visit my parents and some relatives who live in
the beautiful NC mountains. Their elevation is about 3K feet. I live
in Nashville, TN where my elevation is about 600 feet i think.
Anyway, what species would you recommend trying to collect ... and
what should i avoid that won't be able to take the heat of Nashville?
I'd really love to get a mountain laurel.
I'm very new to this ... can you tell ?
