I have a very nice bunch of trees here, including 1 old OLD cedar and an

That's a big mesquite!

I think it's unusually big.
I should take pictures.

It drops enough dead branches to provide some nice smoking wood.

I never cut it.

The oldest trees we have left now are chinese
elms in the front. And this year our bald cypress will be just as
tall!!! Those elms are 50 years old!

Not sure how old my post oaks and elms are, or the hackberry, but they
were a decent size when I bought this place 20 years ago.

I love the souls of old trees.


The only trees I take out are all of the sprouts that come up every year
from the hackberries and the ligustrums. Those are fair game as "weeds".

Most volunteer trees are treated as weeds around here.

Heh!


The pecans the bloody squirrels plant every year get dug up and potted
as soon as I spot them and if they survive, I give them away.

We do that with agaves.

Cheers.

I know. G I have a couple of yours in pots.

I also have one large agave in a pot that I dug up out of the wild
somewhere and it's beginning to produce pups.

They will get "rescued".
