Trees Are Key

Just like arboriculture and forestry, teaching and education is its own industry. Like any industry, there are commonly held beliefs that may or may not be proven. Learning styles are a fascinating concept from an educator’s point of view. It seem logical that different people prefer to receive and process information in different ways.

Species Spotlight

Some of my favorite trees are those that provide visual interest year round. Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) is one of those trees. A small tree, yaupon really comes into its own in the winter when the berries provide one of the few bright spots in our Texas landscape.
