WDE_OxPx_2010 5,290 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Man those trees are tiny compared to the originals. Can't wait to see this picture again in 30 years! WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully to Beasley 643 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Take that you scum updyke and the toothless bammers who support what you did. Our oaks are back in spite of the efforts by you and the great unwashed to ruin our tradition. Auburn University is a bright shining star and it just got much brighter. WAR DAMN EAGLE!

AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Unfortunately, the only thing similar between these trees and the old ones is they have oak in their name....don't even look remotely similar...there are live oaks all over the place...why did we choose these? Am I the only one disappointed in the drastic difference? I'm sure someone somewhere knows how to move a live oak...sorry to rain on anyone's parade here....but live oaks are very unique whereas these look like any random tree. Poor decision IYAM Live Oak Trees grow 24" to 30" per year when young. Since these are already 35' tall they probably won't grow quite that fast. I am sure they also had to prepare the tree's to travel so of course right now they are not very representative of what they will be. Give them a couple year to fill out and grow up and I believe you will change your opinion. 100 Year old trees are almost impossible to uproot and transport which is the type of tree you were comparing these trees to. I am not worried these trees plus the new ones they are planting will turn this into one of the most beautiful corners on any campus in the US and in a few years when the trees have grown a little more after we beat bama the whole area will look like a winter wonderland.

RunInRed 16,370 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 New railing going up at Toomers to surround trees @ITATJason New decorative fencing going up around the Auburn Oaks today. Looking good! #ProtectTheOaks @mike_clardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hopefully the new fence has BAMA detectors and will shock the heck out of any BAMA fan who tries to cross the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,370 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 The tree along Magnolia doesn't seem to be taking to it's new environment so well ... only one tree is blooming.

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'll say this, I wouldn't be incredibly worried by this right now. Some Oaks just tend to bloom earlier then others. Now 3 months from now? That's when I'd be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthyfan 124 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Talked to the guys this AM ... Magnolia still has green cambium on the branches (a plus), but is just not pushing the buds. The back-up at Facilities is leafing out well. These are not clones so leafing out at various times is common due to genetic variability. The arborist who worked with the nursery and the University will be in town this week to review. Stay tuned ... Stealthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
