They seem to be sporting an Alnus posture, but why are they wearing the clothes of Mr. Salix  ???   It's as specific as one can get from over here.  ;D

Bald Cypress.  Or what we would call White Cypress rather than Red or pond cypress.

We have been doing the Guadalope for 30 years or so, off and on, started in the '60's when wife was at UT.

Dodgy loner has been looking into his dendro text.  Some of those trees are 6 foot through and more, a few years back a real storm went though the area and took out some of the bigger ones, never did find out who got the wood.

Some of it was up for sale on the net for a while. The guy wanted an outragous amount for it and had cut the logs into 6' pieces. Much as I would of liked to have had some, I just couldn't choke down the price.

I'm amazed at there being hardly any under growth in those woods. That would have a hazelnut or hobble bush thicket in under there in this kneck of the woods. Spoiled bunch down there, and no snow ta boot. ;D

There are also a lot of homes and buisinesses along the river. I don't know which section that is in the pictures.
