This is A big live Oak that was almost destroyed in 2018 when we had that big storm. I thought yall might want to see how it is growing back. It looks like A big Marijuana plant just starting to flower. lol

I love a pretty live oak, they look so much better than other oaks especially in winter.
This one is a real beauty thanks for sharing George.

Here is A dogwood tree. My brother just planted it not long ago. It has some really pretty blooms on it. I think this is the tree that Noa made his boat from the Ark.

I'm pretty sure it was used for building Jesus cross, I was unaware it was used in the ark.

I could be wrong, but seems like I remember that from Sunday School. Maybe not. I might just have smoke one to many.

Yea I smoke one to many, it was made of Gopher wood. lol

Was doing some reading, and funny thing only Noa new what A Gopher tree was, and The dogwood tree was never mention in the Bible. And it is not native to Isrial.

Isn't it an issue having such a large tree close to the house (I'm more thinking about roots!)

Some times it can be, they can break into foundations some times and break or crack them. But if far away enough doesn't seem to do any damage, when the roots streatch out that far, they tend to be much smaller and there four don't do much damage. I have had many of large trees close to the house, and have never notice any damage, so I guess it depends on the tree and how it wants to grow. People plant trees close to there house here in Florida, to make for more Cooler in hot summers. After the Storm, Just about all my big shade trees are gone, I only have part of one left on the West side of the house. I can't really tell if it is cooler in the house or not, seems the same to me. So, with that being said, we might not need the shade trees as much as we think we do.
