So is there a documented case of killing a oak from pressure washing TP off them. Where are these 500 year old live oaks in Alabama?

LOL - got it - you want to keep rolling and power-washing the trees regardless of their effects (which the Auburn University tree doctor clearly stated were adverse).

That's all I needed to know.

Water and toilet paper don't kill trees...

Spike 80DF in the hands of Alabama fans kills trees.

This ends the public service announcement for the State of Alabama this week. Please return to your regularly scheduled program.

There are tons of them in Mobile. And that's a coastal city that gets hit by hurricanes. I imagine there are plenty throughout the state.

Oh, so the Auburn University expert on trees is a liar?

"I'm surprised, given the power-washing, that the oaks are still here," Enebank (Scott Enebank, Tree Doctor, AU School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences) says. "It is really hard on the trees...They may die in five years"

You love you some Auburn, don't you?

Don't hide it. Our admissions office is very open to your types. Just be very strong in Math and show a love for the outdoors and everything else will take care of itself.

No, 500 year old oaks are very uncommon. The oldest one in Mobile is 300 years old, but using bammer math, I guess that equals 500.

It's really sad how little you guys seem to actually care for the well being of these trees you claim to love so dearly.

Just using them for your own pleasure with no actual care for their well being.

Really sad.

Point to the doll where Aubie touched you.

He's mean sometimes, but he doesn't poison other people's trees.

Again, I just find it strange you are trying to change the subject and refuse to address this. It's kind of pathetic. I don't understand why you would want to terrorize these new trees with hoses and preasure washers.

It helps to wash the Spike 80df off.

Here are the facts:

Live Oaks are not indigenous to Central Alabama, so the life expectancy is unknown under those conditions.
The amount of years the life span of the Oaks is reduced due to the pressure washing is unknown.
They were alive when Harvey killed them.

So your bammer math and attempts to justify Harvey's actions is the most pathetic part of this post.

Klarvin, you nailed it it's really disgusting. Now deal with it. Same goes for the teabagger. Terrible situation, and I strongly condemn it. Wink, wink.
