Cadets and this year’s summer campers will be the first to enjoy shade from the Academy’s newest mighty oaks, compliments of Simmons Oak Farms of Harlingen, Texas!
Simmons Oak Farms Texas recently gifted live oak trees to Marine Military Academy Campus. The generous gift was part of Simmons’ recognition of the 100th year anniversaries of the cities of Harlingen and San Benito. A grand total of 100 live oak trees were gifted to schools, churches, not-for-profits and government agencies within the two cities
The live oak trees, Quercus virginiana, are 5 inches caliper and at least 18 feet tall. Marine Military Academy pulled out the heavy equipment to install these gems. All that’s left to do is add water and enjoy!
