Here, Ross Marsden pays tribute to the big black oak growing on the corner of his Etobicoke property. Ross Marsden says the black oak provides a magnificent canopy over a large portion of his property and enhances the view from all perspectives. ( Ross Marsden ) A small portion of the Marsdens' beloved garden circles the base of the black oak, the tree's branches offering ideal protection. ( Ross Marsden )Our 20-year association has been a long one for me, but relatively short in the overall scheme of things. My friend is a black oak — a large one, with a diameter approaching 1.5 metres (5 feet).
