Cottonwood Sprouts

It was only barely three weeks ago that I posted Cottonwood Snow which showed the masses of accumulated seeds.  Now these seeds which collected where there was a bit of moisture along the highway have all sprouted and if unchecked will turn into trees weighing many tons and 1 metre in diameter in less than 75 years.  Fortunately they don't all grow though, it would be tough to keep the bush  back from your yard if they all survived in the little nooks and crannies where they sprout.  Grizzly
