An Oak Tree a Day
It’s not the rainy season in SoCal but here we are. Quercus lobata (valley oak) is the largest oak in our area The dark streaks are wet where the brown bark finds a way to stay dry. This tree also houses a fairly large bee hive so picnics are out. California #nativePlants #nature

🌿 Native gardens aren't just pretty, they're underground engineering marvels.

Root networks + soil fungi absorb 40% more stormwater than lawns during PNW downpours. Nature's been perfecting this for 10,000 years. 💚
