Kentucky Color: Citizen's Park II

See also: Kentucky Color: Citizen's Park mulberry trees

By Billy Joe Fudge

At the top of the hill in Citizen's Park on the left of the driveway is this old American Holly. American holly is dioecious, meaning the male and female flowers are on separate trees. Since this old tree has no fruit, I assume it is a male.

I believe him to be well over 125 years old and he is in really bad health. His age however, is not the major contributing factor to his failing health and I am having to make several assumptions to rebuild his life story.

First, I believe he was planted in the front yard of the residence at some point soon after the house was built.

Maury shares good results with hearing aids

Shared by Maury Lewis

I have been having trouble with my hearing for several years. I have a lot of noise, not ringing, mostly a hissing, scratching kind of sound.

I went to a doctor to be tested and they said I needed hearing aids that would cost over $6,000. I took them home one night and could still hear the noises so I did not buy them.

Phillip Coffey - God bless all the Veterans!

Hardened Combat Veterans - By Phillip Wood Coffey

Please disavow pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth - defiling that be around. Too much seasoning has been added to his lifelong M.R.E.'s. Pain so deep within, so very hard to expel without expletives - unintended to harm others - he loves all, for he hath given so much in his youth, protecting our country from all enemies - foreign, domestic and such.
