In light of the recent rediscovery of the extinct Quercus tardifolia** featured in a prior post I thought I would add some other oak news that was from Steve’s backyard, a few years ago.
Marion Renault has a good update on the tardifolia find.
*Davila was mentioned in Querencia
**Look here for great pix of the tardifolia find and area.
As a bonus pic, a pleasing Eyvind Earle.

TWO mountains, mind you. I think of Nigel Nicholson, a good nature writer whose grandmother was Vita Sackville- West. ANYONE can inherit an island; on his assuming his majority, his father gave Nigel an ARCHIPELAGO, complete with rare birds and human inhabitants.
