Hopefully, we'll get some live oak trees to replace the 5 we've lost to hurricanes.

And, I need to go by a feed store and get Yahtzee's little puppy girl her first shot!

Happy Weekend All!

Sandy, I remember that you decided on live oak trees, but did you think about Montery Oak trees? They are like live oak in that the new leaves push out the old leaves in March - but they are much faster growing. I planted one in my front yard and it is growing so well, I am amazed. You can't beat live oaks, for sure, but the Monterey oak sure grows a lot faster and looks very similar.

We didn't get to the tree place today. I decided to clean house instead and Hubby's almost through with the new/replaced garden fence.

I'll definitely check into the Montery Oak and see if I can find them around here. THANKS

Sandy, they are also sometimes called White Oaks or Mexican Oaks as well as Monterey Oaks. Someone recommended them to me when I was looking for a tree to replace the one we had to remove from the front of our house. The house faces west and I wanted a great tree like a live oak, but wanted something that grew faster than a live oak, since I needed the tree to shade the house in summer. I am so happy with the Monterey oak! So, definitely check them out!
