• Uses for UNWANTED timber

I define weedy tree species here as those species included on the State Noxious Weeds List:
        1. Russian olive Elaeagnus angustifolia 
        2. Tree of heaven Ailanthus altissima
        3. Saltcedar Tamarix spp. 
        4. Siberian elm Ulmus pumila

PLEASE NOTE! there are other elms that come highly recommended for planting in NM urban landsapes, like - the Chinese or lacebark elm (Ulmus parvifolia), American elm (Ulmus americana), and many well-liked cultivars and hybrids (Frontier...) ⇦ for more info, visit the recent blog on Siberian elms with guest writer Dr. Leslie Beck!
