I have never said that about anyone making a post here before on Landscape Talk. It is nice to hear someone making remarks that are correct, and know about Florida's plant life. There are a lot of post made from people with their ideas about what should be done with their landscaping, but there remarks are so wrong it makes me wonder where in the world they heard it, or who told them. I understand most people moving here are not going to know about Florida's plant life, and what type of plants and trees to use in their landscape project. I preach this over and over, when you have a health problem do you go to your neighbors or friends for their advice, or do you go to your Doctor. ( Who is a professional in his or her field ) Stop and listen, ask them some questions only a person with a horticultural back round would know. Stop and look, at what they drove up in for a vehicle, is it clean and taken care of, can they answer your questions with any type of horticultural answers, our is it just yeah, they look pretty they will do just fine. Now don't get me wrong, there are a few good landscaping companies around, you noticed I said a few. Most of them out there don't even know the growth rate of the plants they are selling, whether they require fall sun, shade, partial sun, cold hardy or not, and if they are, to what point, and will they come back or not. Like Ozello said, are they root
lol Ron, you spelled Ozello with 1 'Z', like you know where it is

I also notice you don't post 'letters' thanking yourself for the awesome landscape you planted yourself.. Kudos man
