More Pecan Trees

This morning I was tidying up my lantana and spied something amiss! Weeds will often grow amongst plants that look similar, so they can grow without notice. I found that this pecan tree was actually four pecan trees! I was able to get three of the four out (one stem broke at ground level), so I will be watching for the last one when its leaves show up again. Those blue jays sure are busy planting pecans!

This Is What Happens . . .

. . . when you don't do yard maintenance! These are two pecan trees that have really taken hold! I should have clipped them when they were just tiny, but now it will take some real work to get rid of them. They are persistent, but if I keep cutting them down each month, it will eventually kill them. This is on the north side of my house, a dead-end piece of ground, so I rarely go there. I really do need to get after these pecans!
