Masterpiece
Not good for bonsai but they are vital to the ecosystem of the Rio grande valley and riparian habitat that runs along it. The 200 mile stretch of cottonwood in NM is said to be the largest continuous stretch of cottonwood forest in the world. It’s a true gem of our diverse landscape here. Through Abq the cottonwoods, while a total mess some parts of the year, are a delight to ride bikes and to walk through. Big problem is the Siberian elm, Russian olive and mulberry that are threatening the Bosque and cottonwood survival.
