It's not easy being a tree

It has been a rough couple of years for trees in the Agronomy Building Courtyard on the Iowa State Campus. A wind storm in June 2005 and a weak tornado later that year only left a few trees standing. The recent ice storm has finished off one of the evergreens. Unfortunately, more freezing rain appears to be on the way thru Thursday which certainly will not be good for the trees already heavily weighted down.

Good = 29
