wal google Texas syndicate,

a colonia is local slang for a low rent subdivision,

[Tad]

setting up the the componets to assit in staking a tree of this size requires a bit of group effort

[Tad]

NO, the duct tape is just temporary to hold the stakes till the metal bander is in place!

[Tad]

one down, 7 to go

[Tad]

finished with the first 3

[Tad]

lupe bores more holes

[Tad]

fencline phoenix, this is after we got rained out...the soil was easy enough to work in after the rain,

[Tad]

this pindo was a monster and was the biggest challenge we had, David purchased it out of florida, it was by far heavier than the large washies.

[Tad]

2 awesome mules David purchased from florida

[Tad]

the mediterranean bed cidps,and meds, this bed still lacks final grade, mulch, etc but will look abso fabulous when its done, this after another huge rain

[Tad]

washie, brahea dulcis, and silver saws are the basics of this clump, with a small amount of time they will really loook great

[Tad]

when this bed is finished, its going to be quite nice , sabal mexicana , washie, and saws

Have googled, found the answer sure enough.

no further comment..

[Tad]

a big batch of pindos that David had when we arrived

[Tad]

a slug of needle palms , these were planted next to existing hardwoods to create a natural foresty feel

[Tad]

pindos and serenoas, the serenoas were also "scattered" across the property in an effort to soften things up.

[deezpalms]

That's gonna be one hell of a palmy place!!!

[Tad]

David scored some very nice serenoas, about a hundred of them. give a bit of time and these things will just be big and thick!!
