Rob, I've got Canyon Oak here and have a big problem w/ seedlings.. Makes a carpet of oaks. Which is interesting considering how much of the forest we've lost to Sudden oak Death. I don't think that's an issue in your county, is it? Also the squirrels went crazy last year planting Bay Laurel seeds... another long tap root that's hard to pull... and Black Walnuts are just a royal pain... I love the smell of alyssum, but would never plant it because of it's weediness. I realized the error of my way pretty quickly with some white Jupiter's beard.. Ay yai yai!
