GA Tree Progression (mostly)

Warning .... Picture Heavy. I've been wanting to document these for quite some time. If you want, just click on the 1st pic to bigefy & then right click to next one.

Taken 2015, 2017 & 2018

Pine by driveway

 

Silver Maple. Not doing very well. Maybe we just aren't meant to have maples?


Oak in NE field


Sycamore


Oak in North field. Most dramatic difference.


Oak by House & Barn


Lemon Sprout


Orange


Pine in South Field


Florida Oak



Florida Oak 2 - This one was blown over after Irma in 2017 but is still hanging in there.

 

Magnolia

 

Maple - Sadly, this died & is now a Maple bush.

 

Oak by barns

 

Below were taken 2017 & 2018 - Not a whole lof of difference but I think they are just getting established.

Cherry Bark Oak in NE field

 

Little Maple near garden - not sure if this one will make it.

 

Cherry Bark in NW field

 

Cherry Bark by Mom & Dad

 

Cherry Bark in South field

 

The first years were taken in September & the last in November. In the future, will try to take them again in September so shadows don't interfere.

We have a lot of plants to transport & plant in the early spring of 2019 (azalea, loropetalum, camillia, more crepe myrtles, etc.) . We'll also be adding about 15 - 20 pecan trees at that time as well. Hopefully we'll be a two person retired household by then!
