My parents live at the base of the foothills, and when they built their house twenty something years ago there was a ton of oak brush throughout the backyard. My mom wanted the excavator to remove all of it and he refused to, he said she would regret it. She ended up leaving it and it is my favorite part of their backyard. It is so beautiful all summer long, and even better in the fall when the colors change. I want my backyard to look that great someday, so, instead of transplanting from new growth in my parents backyard, my kids collecting hundred of acorns and we planted them! We will probably be really lucky if any of them sprout, but the kids loved collecting them and planting them anyway.
