Its these southern pines. They grow over 100 feet tall and have a root ball less than 5 feet down! To make it even worse, as they grow all the limbs drop off the bottom making them top heavy! Makes for some fun when we get lost of rain and wind or an ice storm!!! Oh, to really make this dog related..... the dogs LOVE to mark 'em! -- Suzanne www.tsalishepherds.com Home of Ch Cookie, Ch Flair, BIS/BISS Ch Yancy, Ch Flash, Mousser, and Lil' Miss Gilli!
