While they're native...they've taken over areas that used to be forest floor and open environments for all kinds of critters. Unfortunately they choke out varieties required for a healthy, balance environment. Our pines, oaks and cypress sit in water most of the year in our wetlands...but when they are drained, the change kills them. So sad. Author R.

Wow! What are the small palm like plants with the first turkey.<br />When I see picture of dead trees like in Australia it is often caused by salt rising through the soil. Our gum trees are very deep rooted and it takes many droughts before they die. I suppose the trees you show are the shallow rooted species that are usually found in the northern hemisphere.<br />Thanks for sharing.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.com
