 I know. I know LOL. But your soil NEVER dries out like my old river bottom. Your soil probably goes down at least 10  feet.
My topsoil is at best about one foot deep. Also I bet your neighbors water their yards.

Do you know anyone around where you live that has to water their trees? I have to or they die.

I think people don't think trees need to be watered but they do.
Bug trees don't. Not even where I live, But yes just because a tree survives that doesn't mean it never needs water.

And the type of soil is critical. Where I live the indigenous trees are pines and scrub oaks. And most of the pines are dying off over the years. I don't have any oaks. I have one old pine tree I do water a couple times in the driest part of summer.

Have you ever heard of "black sticky? that's what the locals call the soil in lots of places. Like the pear orchards.
I had a fried who lived off Vilas rd.There were poplar trees just like I have. But they were HUGE towering beautiful trees.
That area has the black sticky. It's only about 4 to 5 miles from where I live. But I believe it's been hundreds of thousands of years or millions since the river flowed over that ground.
Unlike my place which would have been a lot more recent.

What's a bug tree?
Big, but you knew that, right?

Well, that's what I thought. But where I work we have some big trees and they are not doing too well. People who worked there before me say they think they are dying from lack of water, because it used to be a watered lawn but now it's just bark.   They don't look  healthy, that's for sure.

They are absolutely biodegradable? My first thought was how environmentally insensitive if they were not. Confused

Anyway speaking of dog shit. I woke up this morning at 6:30 and our Cane Corso had diarrhea  and had literally shit all over the house.
In my wife's office all over the futon, in her bedroom, in the kitchen , in the dining room and in the living room.
ARRRRRGGGggggg

Laughing Laughing  My entire philosophy since I moved here was to grow anything and as much as possible. If that Bamboo does take over I will be as happy as a clam.
If it invades my neighbor too bad he's a moron anyway and a lazy ass LOL.He has a whopping total of two trees. I have well over 100.

I planted a two gallon potted fig tree in my backyard last February. Much to my surprise about a dozen figs appeared this spring! Even better the deer seemed to leave them alone though they ate the apple tree I planted at the same time. Well, today I got four delicious figs from it. The deer got the rest.   Mad

It looks like a couple dozen more figs are forming for the fall crop. Guess I'll have to build a fence around it.

I didn't know deer liked figs...but they eat nearly everything.

How's that spawn of Satan, TV, the bamboo?

They don't touch the leaves. They just plucked the figs off and ate them.

Anybody have a paintball gun I can borrow?   Big Grin

We planted our fig tree mid June 2017 and were surprised we got fruit also. Small, but the two we picked and tried were terrific. These photos are from this evening.

Yes, selective. But undiscriminating.
