Larry,

   You're spoiling us. I've come to expect at least a 24+ foot girth live oak on each of your reports. I start to feel let down, if you report on a mere 20-footer. As you rack up the numbers and report on these wonderful trees, I try to visualize the deep South in spring, with its profusion of blossoms. Then I look out the window and see nothing but white.

   What is blooming now down your way? What are the showiest blossoms to your taste? Give us a taste of real spring while we wait for the next storm system. Springs in Yankee land suck!

Bob, 
                                                                   
It has been in the high 70's the last week or so. Looks like all the
trees here are budding. I like Tulip and Magnolia best, especially the
Bigleaf Magnolia. 10" Dia., flower and 20-30" leaves, quite a beautiful
flower! I'll send you a photo when they bloom. The Azaleas are starting
to bloom, spring has sprung down here. I've got to get to Mobile they
have the largest Azaleas around, and I haven't measured any Live Oaks
from there. They are huge in Mobile and I'm sure we will get a 25' or
better there. I'll send you guys some warmer weather.
