They are two of the very few remainders of the original Candler Park grove. They drop limbs on neighbors and just cost us 1500 to limb up.<br /><br />Japanese manicure their landscapes and create magnificent, though artificial, beauty. Theirs is nature-like (perfect man-made naturalism), unlike the formal English garden.<br /><br />I very very fondly remember the heaving sidewalks in Chico California where my grandparents lived. Valley Oaks there grew to immense proportions. Summers in Chico are hot (100-115) so the big trees were a blessing.<br /><br />Remember this on my Dead Oak blog?<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooker_Oak<br />Hooker Oak was very close to the "One Mile Dam", a favorite swimming pool on Chico Creek. This was feed by Sierra Nevada snowmelt and is incredibly refreshing<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buXq1dhfwrQ&feature=related<br />http://wikimapia.org/16318/Sycamore-Pool-or-One-Mile<br />Dan<br /><br />PS.

In fact, I was in a different neighborhood earlier today noting that the street had achieved a beautiful, yet little bit wild look. It is much less expensive to go that route and very smart.house thingshttp://houseitemsandroomsilike.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-16980816958765123862010-05-22T07:50:55.472-04:002010-05-22T07:50:55.472-04:00Great presentation.
