Who the hell downvotes this? Beats the hell out of "SHOCKING: Substitute teacher drowns her 3 children while banging one of her students on the I-10 overpass"

Live oaks are the most awe-inspiring, in my opinion. If I ever win the Mega Millions the plan is to hire somebody to find an epic oak tree and then build my country estate around the tree.

Dog woods only look good 2 weeks out of the year. I have 5 of them. About to get rid of them.

I’ve got 5 on my property that are about 75-80 years young. Truly the best.

I can sit and just look at them. Wife thinks I’m nuts

Yeah. We had more but they were planted too close to the house and each other. Did that about 6 years ago plus some clearing out of the shoots and canopy. Now the one in our front yard looks incredible.
