Missing: You are so right--that's why I put it up front! They are tough as long as they have an upland site, and get regular fire every couple years, so the hardwoods don't shade them out. I hope to get to see the CA forests one day; they face many of the same threats our FL forests do: climate change and pressures from population (people) expansion. Thanks for commenting.

+California has some fine forests. The star of this video is a longleaf sappling.

Yay, fire, we should see more of that in California, but alas as the indigenous methods die we lose rare herbs that once frequented park like grasslands.
