Boy by looking at the large black spots, they are super
p o-ed, lol
Max and Bob grubbin', lol

Yeah, wonder what their beef with each other was?? LOL> I have never seen them fighting either,
What kind of a tree did you decide on???

Jolana, so that's what the big black spot is about! I wondered.

Carrie, according to the fact sheet linked below the two anoles came to blows over territory; a trait that seems to be part and parcel of the 'reptile' (primitive) part of the brain of many animals.

After all my questioning and seaching for 'something different' in a tree and not finding the ones that interested me, I went with the tried and true: Cedar Elm.

We planted one in the front yard when we moved here and have been very happy with it. It's native in our neighborhood, has no major health problems, strong limbs, long lived, medium growth rate, and very drought tolerant. It's a tall upright growing tree that can be limbed up, which I wanted so morning and afternoon sun could stream under it for the plants.

Here is a link that might be useful: Anole fact sheet ...

I have a number of Cedar Elms on my property, and really do like them (well, except for the fact that they do multiply rather rapidly). I know you will enjoy it.

Yes Carrie, most of the trees I have do like to make seeds! If they don't plant themselves, the squirrels plant them. Oh well ...

On not finding the trees I've been asking about: I should make that past tense. Jolana has found them all at small town nurseries she knows about. But the die is cast, so to speak, on the cedar elm. Sure wish I had room for more trees!

I made sure I took pix or she would think I was pulling her leg, lol
Like I would do that.
Carrie, you have probably been to Bloomers in Elgin, it is even better than it used to be
Maybe not, it is not on the route y'all go
They are both awesome looking trees
I wish our leach fields weren't in the back, I would get them, LOL

My anoles are fighting too!

HAHAHAHAHA, yes, Jim, they are *fighting* bless your heart, nobody ever had *the talk* with you
Hopefully RC or Omar will email you with info, LOL
No black spots there, !

Hey Jim how are your upright EE's
Would love to see a pic. The ones you gave me got so big last year but this year are just starting to grow.

Awww ... your anoles are lovers not fighters.

Yes, all my EEs are very slow to get going this year including the giant one you gave me. I was afraid they were dead for awile. The only one that doesn't seem to be coming back is the black one.

Not fighting? Oh.

My E.E.s are slow to start growing also. Maybe because I usually fertilize in March or Early April, but just did it this week.
They look to be farther along than they are because the trunks are nearly 4 ft. tall.

Roselee, the Crested E.E. has pups this year, and I'll be glad to send you one if you have a place for it.

Oh my, just wonderful, I know I have seen pix of them when larger but they look huge now!!! Thanks for posting the pix

Dang, Jim! Tsk, tsk, tsk......

Omar

Imagine that!! Discrete sex talk on a gardening forum!! :). photos included.

Oh I just it figured out. I'm so slow. Jim's anoles are merely involved in a wrestling match. The bright green one has penned the other down so it's the winner ... :-)

I am confused. English is my second language so now I am not sure what is the meaning of the verb to fight.....

Omar

Here's the guys that I missed for so long!!!
HAHAHAHA

As long as one talks allegorically, we can get away with all sorts of sins. LOL.
