Since 1968, The Seven Sisters Oak has remained the President of this unique society, becoming president when the first President The Locke Breaux died. Located in Mandeville, Louisiana, the tree resides in the front yard of a private residence, but still draws visitors.

| Arundel Tree Service Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, sounds almost like and insult if you have never heard of the Woodpecker with that name. The yellow bellied Sapsucker is the only woodpecker in the Eastern North America that is completely migratory. Few may remain locally during most winter in the southern most portions of the breeding range.With length between 7-8 inches and a wing span of 13 to 15 inches they are an average size woodpecker. These birds are known to favor many different species of trees in this area, leaving a tell tale evenly bored rows of holes in their wake. They make two types of holes while they work. The holes are most commonly found on Atlas Cedar, Hemlock, Red Maple, Yellow, Paper and Gray Birches. It seems Birches and Maples are a favorite as they tend to be the most notably marked. Extensive and repetitive pecking may cause cambium and bark injury and brank/trunk swelling. Resulting Girdling may kill portions of the trees above the boring injury. www.ArundelTreeService.com |

| Arundel Tree Service Alder trees are a very small group of trees and shrub, made up of only 30 varieties most of which are native to the Northern temperate areas. Ten of which are native specifically to North America half of these can be grown as either shrubs or trees. As a whole, Alders rarely grow to over 70 feet tall. Alders are considered part of the larger Birch family since they are very similar in habit and appearance, however there are two things that set them apart from Birch trees. The first is the fruit of the Alder not only resembles a small cone, but when ripe it becomes hard and woody very much like a cone. The second is that the roots of the Alder grow nodules that house nitrifying bacteria which enables these trees to grow well in bare or poor soils that lack the nitrates the plants need to survive. In its native growth range, the Alder is commonly seen as one of the first signs of new growth in previously burned or logged forests. More Cool Tree Facts www.ArundelTreeService.com |

| Arundel Tree Service The Ginkgo Tree is the survivor of all arboreal survivors. There were Ginkgo trees when dinosaurs walked the Earth. The sole remnant of a group of plants even more primitive than Conifers. It is a living fossil, and fossils relating to the modern Ginkgos dating back 270 million years. They were wiped out completely in North America by the Glaciers,and thought to at one time be extinct in the wild the world over. They however thrived in China where the Buddhist monks tended to them in their gardens. When growing in the wild , they are found infrequently in deciduous forests and valleys with fine silty soil. It has long been cultivated in China and is now common in the southern third of that country. They were exported to England in 1754 and to the U.S. about 30 years later, cultivated in both countries for over 200 years it has failed to become significantly naturalized in either.
