Useless oak tree trivia:

In the time of Admiral Nelson, it took about 2000 oak trees to make a single British warship.

Without American white oak there would be no whiskey. Or very little of it.

I had to look it up. Beautiful trees. Now I’m seriously considering planting one.

Even one oak cut for the sake of this clown’s beliefs is a crime. So no “literal deforestation,” so what is he advocating? Half, quarter, or just a few trees? He is a poltroon, unworthy of his position.

Good luck with that. There’s 26 species of oak in New Mexico alone, hardly a powerhouse forestry state.

I do agree with you, FTR. Just want to make sure we are accurate with accusations, and not behave like liberal commies do.

How about we automatically label any cultist publication claiming nature is a pollutant be banned as obvious pseudo science.

On one hand, with global temperatures rising,

Huh. Another abrupt ending of an article.

I just found this:
"So I was stunned to read in the Daily Progress on June 25, 2008 that the tree was going to be taken down."

Sad. Reason to plant more of them.

the Elms were big majestic and old, then we heard about the disease fungus and they all died in like just a year.

Everyone tried to save them, but eventually there was nothing anyone could do.

I have heard similar things about banana fungus, it would really suck if it spreads.
