My good idea is for treebreeders to come up with a style of ginkgo tree that has all of its healthy leaves be the same red-orange color as the unhealthy ones seen dangling here.

Do you understand? The change wouldn't be applied to all ginkgo trees; it would just be a special variant that people could buy if they wanted, or not.

Mitt Romney famously climaxed a speech at a campaign rally by building to a vehement declaration that "the TREES are the RIGHT HEIGHT here in MICHIGAN! Thank you! God bless you! And God bless the United States of America!"

This tree is the right height and is shapely, but the foliage has bad sparsity due to illness.

I cannot figure out the kind: a locust? an ash? another thing?
