Cottonwood is relatively new to me. A map tells me that they have cottonwood trees in South Carolina, but I don’t remember them, so I think that this is the only place I have lived with the problem of cottonwood.

When I run into a swarm of cottonwood seeds, I try my hardest not to turn into a kitten and swat them away. I find them extremely gross. They are the number one reason for Why I Hate Trees on the Beach. Eew eew eew. Every single picture of cottonwood seeds is described “Like summer snow!” Eew eew eew.

Go away, cottonwood.

For me, whimsey wins big over annoyance in this case — I love the summer snow, and I’m not the least bit ashamed to call it that.

Don’t ever change, cottonwood.
