Nicole is in the shipping business. One of her customers gave her a giant acorn. It is from a Bur Oak. She mailed it to us with instructions to plant it in a pot to get it growing, and then transfer it outdoors. (Being in the shipping business, she thinks nothing of mailing a giant acorn.) The leaves on this tree will be up to a foot long. They seem to be very popular in Texas.

I’ll plant it next to the mailbox and see if Kathy notices.
