"The snows of June consists of “cotton” from the cottonwood trees: small bits of cotton-like fibers enclosing a small green cottonwood seed. The cotton is nature’s distribution agent, allowing the seeds to be widely dispersed as they are blown in the wind." See "Cottonwood trees and the snows of June." The white stuff all over the ground is Cottonwood snow or cotton. In some places along the Provo River in Provo, Utah, the piles are inches deep on the ground. We ride our Catrikes down the Provo River Trail and ride through a number of areas where the seeds are thick on the ground.
