The Florida Pain Clinic - Split Oak Forest

Split Oak Forest near Orlando is on the chopping block to have a roll road built through the middle of it due to some sleaze bag developers that need a way to shuttle human consumer-cattle between the depressing cul-de-sac community they built and the airport, as a result, the entirety of this remaining crumb of habitat could one day be partially demolished despite being in a conservation easement. in this habitat we explore some of the sand scrub communities and talk about the fire dependency (and fire-adapted nature) of many of these plants, including Gordonia lasianthus (Green Tra Family, Theaceae), Lyonia lucida (Blueberry Family - Ericaceae), Gaylussacia nana, Quercus geminata, Serenoa repens, Carphephorus odoratissimus (aka Vanilla Leaf), and more.
