The Trees and Shrubs
The Trees and Shrubs are trying to make a comeback, but most will die off due to the storm surge.
Water always follows salt, so when the surge (Gulf Saltwater) swallowed the Island, most plants could not handle it. I have seen some species
starting to sprout new leaves again, but sadly most will die.
I took all these picture today, Christmas 2008. So you can still the aftermath 3 months later.
Remember that so many are still displaced from the hurricane on Christmas Day.

Uprooted, as were many of them throughout the area |
Fits the Sega Palm (see the new sprouts) as well as the house and owners |
Dead shrubs in the middle of all the ones that survived |

Houses used to be here with the trees |
Some made it - some did not |
