A couple of blocks away on Chilton Street, a decades-old Japanese
ginkgo tree shimmers with a yellowish glow that aspens would envy. Home
owner Billy Barham, glad for passers-by to pose for photos beside his beloved
ginkgo, suggests that they be quick about it. After an early freeze one year, the
slow-growing, 30-foot tree shed its golden locks in a single day.
(story might benefit from nut graph at the beginning or perhaps
expanding on this paragraph's/your approach/theme-also could perhaps
strengthen the "local explores Tyler" angle) I don't get this suggestion???
Most who live in Tyler's historic neighborhoods love sharing their
surroundings. So much so, that locals regularly fling open front doors and
garden gates for historic homes and gardens tours.
The largest garden, the 14-acre Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, was
established in 1952 and welcomes visitors year-round. It takes center stage
each October when eye-popping rose petals-35,000 bushes and 600 varieties
worth-look their best during the annual Texas Rose Festival (October 14-17).
