Happy to see my little babies sprouting!!! I  have 100 percent germination. The next picture is of the same trees but they are only three years old. You can see horse pens in the background to give a sense of scale. I have read many articles of people who are against these trees for a myriad of reasons and I don’t subscribe to any of it. This is a wonderful tree providing privacy, shade, love of nature with the wind its leave and a wonderful sent. I have read they are trying to eradicate these trees in the parks along the coast which makes me want to plant these trees all the more.
