So, 2020 is coming to an end. What many will consider the worst year ever is about to come to completion. On Jan. 1, we will all wake up with a new set of 365 days to try to make things better.

Shagbark Hickorys (Carya ovata) gets its name from the distinctive bark that seems to break up into strips that slightly curl at the ends, although the shagginess only applies to mature trees. Bark on young trees is smooth. Our area is at the extreme western limit of its range, so Shagbarks are few and far between. Normally a slow growing tree, nurseries have increased growth rates by grafting upper portions onto roots of faster growing species.
When the Texas Legislature convenes Jan. 12, a key question is how the public will have access to their lawmakers during the pandemic.
