Show Notes

I love Toumey oaks…I know, I said that, but we have several planted at our little homestead. I think if I lived in and around Tucson I’d be tempted to try this small native oak. Well, of course I would, cause I love this oak. The photos are mine and taken of Toumey oak seedlings in our greenhouse.
