Sweet Gum

Got these photos of Sweet gum today at lunch. This is a nice tree for your yard. It has brilliant fall color and the tree provides good shade in the summer.

The clean-up of the seed balls is a little cumbersome but it has never bothered me any.




The shape of this tree is not typical. There probably was some ice breakage.

James 5:13
"Is anyone among you suffering:
Then he must pray.
Is anyone cheerful?
He is to sing praises."
