Hi Bob,

I hope you're a young man if you are going to wait for acorns to make canopy shade. LOL

Seriously my Oaks are probably 150 years old maybe older. There is about 30 to 35 feet UNDER the wide canopy and the width of the canop is approaching 90 feet. That is just for one of the larger trees. This shaded area I grow in has about a half dozen or so Oaks whose high branches intertwine to create very very little sunlight penetration. We are talking serious shade here.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
