Could be even older - "sand live oaks" are smaller because of the harsh conditions near the gulf. I love the ones right on the dunes with just the tops showing and massive root systems holding the dune together. Often these are hundreds of years old but you only see a few feet of the tops.

That's probably how those were on that lot, back when that lot was a dune system before cars, realtors and grouper sandwiches.

I am far from a tree hugger but the loss of these trees is criminal. Why couldn't they have designed a business that took the trees into consideration as part of the design. I guess they didn't have the room. Anyway, they've lost my business before they have even started, but so what.

Sad moment. Can't help but feel this way.

Last month when we were taking a walk to Seaside I saw all the ribbons on the trees so I took photos of all of them. It breaks my heart that they're being cut down. They're such beautiful old trees.

So, so, so, sad.

Can you email me a pic or 2? Mama Scooterbug loves those trees.
