Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 20-6-2007(45): The evergreen oak is a tree most strict with its leaves: they must be evergreen, or else!

2) [to_nihon] 11-1-2009(13): A very strict master dictates that the slaves must ensure that the evergreen oaks are ever green. One day a slave notices, to his terror, that one of them has turned brown! Not wanting to get buried up to his crotch in soil, he quickly pulls out a can of green spray paint and paints the entire tree. Even if that tree wasn't ever green before, it certainly is now!

3) [oregum] 24-1-2009(3): Evergreen oaks are TREES that are STRICTLY green.

4) [kapalama] 5-9-2011(1): 樫 =橿=槝=櫧, evergreen oak (#2491 樫)？, かし … Parts: 木 , 堅 strict (#853 堅) … Note: The tree カシ is both 橿 sturdy oak (#2509 橿) and 樫 evergreen oak (#2491 樫) … Story: (Since 'strict' for 堅い is a mistake anyway): My Girlfriend calls me the Evergreen Oak, because I always have Wood, and I am a Slave to my Crotch and my Dirty, Dirty mind, and she makes these names from elements of kanji.

5) [Corodon] 30-12-2011(): The evergreen oak isn't a tree, strictly speaking. It's a shrubbery. (not true, but if it helps with remembering this kanji…).
