Tumbleweeds Roll Over Montana Neighborhoods
Every town has its own history and issues unique to its neighborhoods.
Near Bozeman, Montana this morning, one neighborhood is dealing with a tumbleweed problem that is so bad that residents are resorting to using snowplows and pitchforks to clear driveways, backyards, and streets.
This is not an every year event, of course, but before buying a home it’s important to understand what the nuances of the area that won’t show up on a MLS listing sheet.
Tumbleweed is the more common name for Salsola and has been romanticized by Western films as a sign of a ghost town, or nothingness. For the residents of Shooting Star Lane, the six-foot tall piles of plants are anything but.
