Title: "Joyous sights and sounds from Auburn as Toomer's Corner gets its new trees" Post by: WALL-E on February 14, 2015, 02:58:02 PM Joyous sights and sounds from Auburn as Toomer's Corner gets its new trees

That's odd, because a botanist from the Auburn arboretum told us several years ago that Auburn was raising replacements from seedlings of the original trees. Live Oaks are not native to Auburn, and the original trees weren't healthy even before Harvey did his stupidity. Maybe these new trees are deemed more winter-hardy, redneck-hardy, and toilet-paper hardy. :dunno: Title: Re: "Joyous sights and sounds from Auburn as Toomer's Corner gets its new trees" Post by: 2Stater on February 15, 2015, 07:34:09 AM The trees are from Ehrhardt, South Carolina.

Guess the Aubs gave up on the statement made by their botanist to us: "Aubrun fans won't be happy unless the replacement trees are grown from Toomers Oak seedlings." :unsure: :unsure: Title: Re: "Joyous sights and sounds from Auburn as Toomer's Corner gets its new trees" Post by: Marshal Dillon on February 15, 2015, 03:42:26 PM The trees are from Ehrhardt, South Carolina.
