It's Bailey with TN Nursery. I wanted to show y'all some of our pin oak. This is our pin oak. These are already, I'm pretty sure, pre-ordered and sold, but I wanted to show y'all the caliber and just how beautiful these trees are. Now, if you ever see a ginormous tree that you would be willing to bet is hundreds of years old, it's 90% of the time it is an oak tree. If you want to attract wildlife like flying squirrels and squirrels of any kind and beautiful birds, this is the tree to do it. Now, they're not as fast growing as some of our trees we offer, but this tree right here is probably, I'd say, 6 foot tall, probably a little over 6 foot tall, and it was planted last year. So they grow about 5, 4 or 5 feet a year. And, uh, pin oak has little bitty acorns and it attracts deer and anything you want to supply with food and nutriment. It's, uh, these pin oak trees, any kind of oak tree really. Pin oak's my favorite because I like the little leaves, but they turn a beautiful golden color in the fall. They live for hundreds of years. They'll be here when we are all dead and gone. They'll be here. They're hardy, they're low maintenance, they're native. You can't go wrong with planting a pin oak tree. Beautiful bark. And moss loves to grow on the upper branches when they get a little big, a little bigger. And you see the caliber, the caliber is good. Beautiful straight trees. Some of them has multi-trunks, which is really hard to find in an oak tree. They're very, very beautiful and they attract a lot of wildlife.
