Ouch-and after all that trouble, too.

The only maples we have here in the hill country are the bigtooth ones that have the orange/gold leaves in Fall-there is a whole area of them about 50 miles from here-Lost Maples state park-just about everyone buys them at the nurseries to plant-they only grow in this area-probably because they need less water than other maples.

Trees everywhere here. The woods and rain were what I missed most when I lived in Frisco back in the 80s. Even a drought isn't really a big issue here unless there's a fire.
