@Mark That would be the Natural Resources Conservation Service here. I’m trying to nudge folks into thinning their hardwoods and doing some burning to approximate the oak savannas in the piedmont here. I see 18th-19th c references to them in the Piedmont of the Carolinas but not much mention in Georgia. Tons of literature on the longleaf savannas in the Coastal Plain, though.
@HeatherMac I’m familiar with the native wax myrtle, but have never really looked at the crepe myrtle, apart from noting it planted all around town. You’ve learned alot about them!
