Oak is difinitely a great choice for a canopy layer in an asian-inspired bamboo polyculture. Q. mongolica, if the grower is determined to use an asian variety, but our own…"

At the southern end of Waterfront Park in Corvallis, beyond the skate park, a small shaded grassy area provides bicyclers and pedestrians with a place to rest. The park is oddly shaped, its east and south boundaries created by the confluence of the Willamette and Mary’s Rivers. Cottonwood trees stand alone in a grove in the regularly mowed grass of the park, while alder, wild cherry, blackberry brambles, and sweetbriar rose create an impenetrable tangle along the rivers’ edges, the only opening…See More
