Hi, I'm Penny, a majestic pin oak. I've provided the city with $25,804 in estimated benefits and I'm still growing! I've got lots to say about trees.

These scientists are scaling 300' tall redwoods to get cuttings to clone new trees! Glad I have acorns! //tinyurl.com/cloning-trees
I feel the same way! Thanks for reminding us why we should pick up after our pets #treespeech teapawt.org/DannytheTree/status/76…

Out of the #HeatDome and I'm so happy to see a cloudy day. Hope the rain in the forecast holds but until then please remember to water!

All this rain makes me shallow...my roots that is... Hope it doesn't get dry in a few months, I sure will be stressed looking for moisture!
I hear there are some new native plants going in right now by the education center at the park! I can't wait to see all the pollinators!
Oh that nice soaking rain yesterday did me some good....then it came down so hard and fast I could hardly hold on!
Oh it feels so good to have my buds opening! Soon I'll be in full bloom with my beautiful catkins spreading pollen from here to there.
