I understand that completely. Here in South Jersey, the most common convenience store is Wawa. Large Wawas with gas stations started sprouting up several years ago. The nearest one to here is about 5 or 6 miles away, obviously well within our Pine Barrens. Anyway, when it was built, they planted a row of Longleaf Pines along the back of the parking lot! Of course the back of the parking lot is closest to the woods. Why in the world did they plant Longleaf Pines and not Pitch Pines? I don't get this at all. Or better yet, carefully leave some of the native Pitch Pines, and plant grass or whatever around them! I never understand the thinking that goes into new building construction around here.

It is that I am trying to have nothing but native plants in my yard. Beth Sent from my iPhone On Dec 3, 2009, at 5:50, Barry Caselli <[email protected]> wrote: Good question. They seem to be all over South Jersey, but only in areas where people live. At the last house on our side of the road, the people had a big one in their front yard, but had it removed. I don't know why. It was perfectly healthy, and they don't do anything different with the yard. It wasn't in the way or anything.
