If we get any rain this Winter, this time next year it should be green starting to dry to golden brown for Summer. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Unless they are totally charred the California Live Oaks are pretty resilient. They don't burn like conifers which are loaded with fuel. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Unless they are totally charred the California Live Oaks are pretty resilient. They don't burn like conifers which are loaded with fuel. Depends on the conifer. Some conifers are pyrophytic--they need fire to reproduce. All that suggests that fires are part of the natural cycle. In which case its better to have more frequent and smaller than to let the fuel accumulate to feed larger fires. This is much the same as fires in Australia. Fires are natural and we have to live with them. Putting them off and letting the fuel burden accumulate just makes for bigger fires when they inevitably occur. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Floods! In my corner of California we would be happy with any rain. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The US Forest Service subscribes to that knowledge, at least in some areas. Carrying it out, though, is another matter. Some people freak out at the thought of any flame anywhere. Plus those damn trees we imported from down under are very flammable when dry. |
