Comments (9)Wow. I'm shocked. Those crowns are so full and healthy looking. Were they topped or sheared? Are you sure these aren't Chinese evergreen oak? Those are more common in the trade in the Atlanta area. Or Laurel oak? (Q. Laurifolia) Laural oak natural range does extend pretty far north in the state. Where are they if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to take a look at them next time I'm in that area....See MoreMost successful try at Live oak that favors Q. Virginiana
Comments (110)I never saw the above tree, and you mentioning it before. From what you mentioned, and I agree with, it seems our trees are of similar seed source. They mentioned (Mossy oaks) for Texans to take notice. I looked at my biggest of the 2 nicest late drops and the wood seems like it isn't limp and tender on either. I guess I should quit blabbering about it and see how it does in time, maybe adding an update in January, maybe the 15th of Jan. I want to thank David for the article. I got baby trees from one or 2 of those Virginia located Q. Virginiana before I tried the late drop L.O. They survived until around January or around-abouts then. My friends yard with the Late drop looks sad. Either the leaves are gone from wind, or beasts chopped them down. I never protected them. Yesterday I went to her yard but didn't know I would be beforehand, and brought no protection. It was dark so I could only say the headlights showed no leaves. My yellow leaved from the same batch late drops have their yellow leaves though. I will try 2 more in her yard in spring, if the present ones are dead. I will have to bring protection at planting time. I will start a new thread, or any repliers can. David I love the pics in your post, a couple trees were on the Virginia big tree website, but they were small pics. Those of the multiple trees (groves) aren't on the V big trees at all. They look healthier without the moss draped, but the moss in just some lower areas is nice. I recently saw a bigger pic of the champion Compton's oak, and am glad I have 3 of them, the pic someone posted shows the branching pattern, and it is really great....See MoreIndelicate Q
Comments (26)I believe Mallory is on the right track. I think there's some stomach virus going around. Dottie, if you don't have a fever, than, you're having the same thing I've been having. The stomach only get upset almost right after I eat but not lasting all day, right? Yesterday, I suddenly remembered of my mom's home remedies: Ginger! (not from China =o) I had asian noodles with ginger sauce and it did the trick. The meal stayed in my stomach and my stomach had been calmed ever since....See MoreQ about color temperature in cans
Comments (5)Oh, oops, have been thinking about LED so much lately, I didn't realize I had not included that detail! I wasn't sure how much difference I'd notice between the cooler and warmer areas of LED if I use 3000K in kitchen and 2700K in nearby hall area....See Morejoeinmo 6b-7a
