It's a beautiful Florida-vacation-looking established neighborhood, with lots of palms and other tropical vegetation. What you won't see are any 20-year-old oak trees in anyone's yard.
In fact, drive through any Southern, recently developed neighborhood. Much of the South side is a completely different environment than the wooded, hilly land on the North. Trees would look weird and probably wouldn't survive because there were none there to begin with. Like I said, there are neighborhoods where you can drive for miles without seeing an oak tree in anyone's yard.
The evidence says you are mistaken. Everyone has asked you to cite your source, and you have refused.
Are we done yet?

The trees are planted, and people remove them. They HAVE to be planted to close the house, I wish the zoning dept would enforce replacement when removed, then I wouldn't have to endure this soapbox
.
The southern end is doing this more than ever, hence the purpose of this post.
I fished and hunted a lot of this land growing up here, and yea, there were some areas with no trees, we called them pond and lakes... or a field.
Did you replace the canopy tree that you removed from YOUR house? Wasn't one there when you bought it? Then you didn't buy NEW.
