    I live on the Texas Gulf Coast and I staked out my Peach Tree when planted , but Hurricane Nicholas (Sept. 2021) didn't seem to have much effect on it , but Hurricane Beryl (July 8 th, 2024 )put it at a 60 degree angle after 6 hours of straight on 100 plus mph winds with heavy rain was just to much as the pole just couldn't support the tree . In a 2000 Acre subdivision we had over 200 Large Pecan trees down as of Aug. 17 th they are just about all gone except for the stumps !

    A live in a very suburban area where there are no stores nearby that carry quail feed. There is a nearby Wal-Mart that has chicken feed, but that's not near enough protein, especially for young quail. So I have to make a long drive to a Tractor Supply Co further out in a more rural area. At least they have large bags so I don't have to make the drive often. There are other stores nearby where I can get meal worms and cracked corn and millet and other things to supplement the feed, but that game bird feed is a haul for me to get...
