97 Oaks and counting....




I counted 97 Live Oak Trees (aka Ever Green Oak) in our yard today. There are a lot of overgrown areas back there, from years of neglect from the previous owner, so I know there are some that I couldn't count so I'm sure the actual number is well over 100. WOW! What beauty they bring us. There are some who are over 100 years old . They can live to be several hundred years old. These truly are Grand Trees!


Our oaks are sick. They're dying from Oak Wilt. We will attempt to treat the 15 that are directly around the house and who are shading our house from this intense Texas sun. Wish us success. We'll keep you posted...
