Even consider removing the top row of stone to make the exposed roots a feature

re: Planting Trees on Property

Magnolia trees are just big evergreen shrubs. it sounds like you have the room for them. Several varieties available to give a mixed look. Irregular spacing because eventually some die and then the missing ones become obvious
If variety/cultivar not named, it's probably a seedling, with low probability of being anything exceptional
But put it in the ground, give it a year or two to get established, and buy some cuttings of a good Southern variety to graft onto it one spring
Here is one site that I have bought from before for other fruit. Plenty of other sites online with a Google search

Let us know what you find from the nursery, and if you come across some varieties known to be suitable down here

Like apples and most other fruit, there are individual varieties with variable characteristics in size of plant / fruit, taste, production, and tolerance of warm winters.
We are at the southern end of their range, and I am pretty sure many of the typical varieties grown further north would languish or not fruit down here, very similar to our very limited options for apples.
Did your tag indicate which named variety you bought?
I recently read that the newest varieties far exceed the old classics for taste. There just hasn't been a lot of effort in breeding until recently, with an explosion of new improved varieties

I put a few in the ground 8 to 10 years ago that I grew from seed here in br.
About 4 ft tall now, surviving but hardly thriving. One put on flowers last year.
Will probably topgraft some low chill hour varieties eventually.
I haven't really researched what those might be. What variety did you buy?
Put some in the ground in zone 6B Virginia about 20 years ago that have created broad thickets and produce every second or third year. I've never been there at ripening, and have never tasted pawpaw.

If you graft Scion from mature pecan trees onto your seedlings, it will skip adolescence and begin producing in 5-8 years. Pick a good one
You can just take the threaded front lens cover off and adjust parallax yourself on a Leopold
Until completely frozen..
while the mixture remains at 32°F until freezing is complete, the final solid ice can certainly get colder than 32°F
I just hope it keeps raining and stays wet

The rape stones were awful, and although the story arc probably required a way to communicate back to earth eventually, like in SG atlantis, it happened too early in the series and the associated story line was terrible
The underlying mystery of the aliens that resurrected the civilians left behind on a planet, the ongoing pursuit by hostile aliens, and the hodgepodge of characters themselves which were getting pretty well fluffed out kept me watching
it definitely had a different tone than all of its predecessors. But I was disappointed when it got canceled.
When was the last time the so-called scifi channel had a self-produced scifi show?

I am a bit of a garden bug with quite a few fruit trees in my Baton Rouge orchard.
I have failed growing Haas, Lila, Joey, favorite, Mexicola, and 1 simply labeled "Hardy avocado".
I have tried planting with rootball high, painting with white latex paint, shading for the 1st year, and protecting over the winter. None survived 2 calendar years
if anyone finds a variety that does well here, please pass that info along

I've grown wonderful, sweet, and another I can't recall, here in br
The wonderful is still in the ground 15 years later. One of these days i'll yank it out
Fruit are rare, small, and mildew long before edible

Great escape
I had only 1 question when I clicked on this thread, "what was the alteration?"
it did not say in the link or your post, only that 2 words in a Ted Cruz question were changed that changed the meaning.
anyone know what the change was?

especially after you add up all of the extra fees and shipping
shill-bidding is the norm. Few sellers are willing to allow you a true bargain

re: Hot Tub Time Machine - April…who is she?
Posted by luvdoc on 11/12/25 at 7:18 am to DustyDinkleman
She was my least favorite part of an otherwise fun and immersive movie.
Very peculiar instead of the "cool" she was supposed to be, and just weird looking.

Longs peak, 14,249 ft
Trailhead at 9374 feet, 4,875 feet elevation change, 15 mi total hike there and back
Ballbuster, especially for a flatlander South Louisiana boy
Summited on my 5th and final try over about 35 year stretch, with weather the limiting factor

My buddies and I saw it a second time to count how many people he killed. I believe it was up into the 150s.
ETA; only 41 according to Google
