Some were lost in siting the house, others because they became? a threat to the house as they grew older, so that only two remain.? Replacements have been Tulip Poplars, which should last a while. I recently noticed that the oak in the back yard has a lightning track down one side from an old strike? at some time.? And, alongside the scar, a patch of fungi has taken up residence.? I finally caught the light right to get a picture of this tree marking. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20190919-P9190153.JPG.html Not quite in the class with Don's Austin oaks, but it will have to suffice for today. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
