It's due to root grafting, so there needs to be a live fir nearby. Love your blog. I had just spotted and photographed some way cool garryana in Oak Harbor (Whidby Is) Their form seemed a bit different than the norm for Garry oak, but probably not that much. It was the presence of red oak leaves as well as garry under the trees that got me wondering. As we have few in the Seattle area, I had to check online for images to see that the deeply thick and plated bark is a common characteristic of garry oak. If you do facebook, look me up..I'm an arborist and semi-pro photographer. There's a couple FB groups dedicated to cool trees, and I may post some of the images to them. One is "Big Tree Hunters"..Roger Barnetthttp://facebook.com/roger.barnett.96noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-483935526643179042015-04-30T04:49:42.213-07:002015-04-30T04:49:42.213-07:00Again, this was one of your amazingly informative ...Again, this was one of your amazingly informative blogs Jean.

Soon she noticed an odor in the living room. Lovely to look at but in the house they smell like cat pee. Best left on the tree.<br /><br />ElseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
