Members of theVermont Tree Society and

tree tour guests celebrate the tree Dave Schneider

planted after his guided walk around the

Rutland Main Street Arboretum.  The tree, a Black Locust,

 was planted in honor of Mother’s Day.

Although the dedication to Mothers was somewhat

impromptu, Black Locust is known for

it’s long-lasting wood and it’s

ability to sprout from the root.
