ENTS,
Hello all. I measured three more Live Oaks last week. Two in
Biloxi, and
one in Apalachicola, Fla. The two in Biloxi are the new #26, The
Water
St. Apartments Oak, CBH-22'9", Spread-114' and Height 63'.
The other is
the new #28, The Lee St. Oak, CBH-21'6", Spread-117' and
Height 60'.
Both the trees are growing in the Beach grove along Hwy 90,
approx, 300
meters from the Gulf. Both were in about 10' of saltwater during
Hurricane Katrina with little or no effect.

The third Oak
measured was
in Apalachicola, the new #20, The James Padgett Oak, CBH-24',
Spread-137' and Height 48'. The largest tree I saw in the city,
while
staying The Bryant House Bed&breakfast. Apalachicola is an
old fishing
village.

Many historical homes are throughout the city, and
there is a
slow laid-back atmosphere here, very relaxing. Numerous Pines of
large
size abound here and in the surrounding areas, mostly Slash.
