We invite you to visit... In 1880 the site that was to become Glenwood City was a tranquil glen (valley) in the midst of huge forests. By 1885-1890 with the coming of the railroad and the lumber mills, Glenwood was the major trading center of the area with a population of 2000.
English walnut trees can be tapped successfully, especially when subjected to a freezing winter and spring. Paper birch (Betula papyrifera) The paper birch has a lower sugar content than sugar maple (less than 1%), but is the sweetest of the birch trees.
Because palms tend to have heavy fronds and trunks, the numerous roots act both as anchors and feeders to sustain the growing plant -- even trees taller than 50 feet do not use a taproot system that is common in other tree species. The thin roots stretch away from the trunk in search of moisture and nutrients.
