I agree that the nitrogen fixing ability would aid in fertilizer runoff uptake, but I don't know if it would be accepted well at golf courses. As you pointed out, it is more of a shrubby tree which can form thickets (not good for golf). |
Ack! Good catch! I was looking at rugosa as the ID but this is what happens when I look stuff up late in my day! I miss details. Thanks for pointing that out. I believe both types are found on the meadows.
As far as golfing, I think those folks need more challenges in the game. Maybe it would make them nostelgic for the days when it was only sand traps they had to beware of.
