#OTD #JohnFremont discovered the #Cottonwood #Tree (Populus fremontii) near Pyramid Lake in Nevada.
Cottonwoods are the fastest-growing #Trees in North America w/ weak wood & a #Star-shaped #Pith. Female trees make the fluffy star-shaped #Seeds that collect in your #Garden & #Garage in June.
#NativeAmerican #Folklore tells that the trees held the #Stars of the sky in their #Branches for many moons. But one #Windy #Spring, they released them all until they filled the night sky.
