Over the years, we produced about 2,000 trees, shrubs and other plant material per year. That doesn't include sea oats: we grew about 70,000 sea oats over the past three years.

We prune and remove about 8,000 trees a year. And every year we plant around 2,500.

We couldn't justify investing in improvements knowing we were going to have to move away. So when we looked at the economics, this is much better.

Scrub is probably the most endangered habitat type left in Florida.

They don't have the root system to pull them through. Trees and shrubs and older plants can push out new growth after the primary growth has been killed off, but shallow rooted plants can't.
