Laurels (Sophora secundaflora) by the foot in overall height. At the EXPO last week-end, a few people people wanted to know whether there is much difference in the fullness of the trees at different heights. That led us out into the field this morning to take a few pictures. You will have to judge for yourself what your customers want - me, I'm all about the big material!The first picture shows Tony with a 7' Mountain Laurel. The pole is flagged at 5', 6', and 7'. You may need to double click the shot, in order to see the flags clearly. Anyhow, there are multiple branches that measure 7' - not just one or two. We sure don't want our customers to feel that we "fudged" on measuring.
This second picture shows a Texas Mountain Laurel that is just below the 5' mark. That makes is not yet ready for the market.But these trees are still putting on new growth - they'll look even better when we begin to harvest in November.
