Ear to the Ground: The Insider Dirt to Gardening in Upstate NY

Stump the Chump: July-August 2016

STC-JA2016

Hints:
I’m in the olive family,
My fragrances divine,
I bloom in June, also July,
As a street tree, I am fine.

Grandma loved my shrubby kin,
With tulips a great bouquet!
Too bad she moved away.

I’m native to the orient,
Like many a tree or shrub.
If you live in Rochester,
You oughta know me, bub.
