If I had to pick one tree to use the leaves as toilet paper from the 5 observations I made, I would have to go with the tree that I found on my street with the white flowers. I am not quite sure what type of tree it is, but it has pretty good size round and smooth leaves. Yes, I really enjoyed this project because I went up and down my street with a new set of eyes and noticed so many more beautiful trees and shrubs. One pro of planting non native trees is that they are beautiful and add beauty to a neighborhood. One con is that they may non grow as well or last as long as they would in their native habitat.

I collected observations of these 5 trees from Jack London Park 0.3 miles from my house. I keyed each of these trees myself and identified them as so. Hopefully I did it right!! Each tree is very different although all in very close proximity.
