3) [gfb345] 13-6-2010(11): (NB: 橿 and 樫 [evergreen oak (#2491 樫)] are basically synonyms, both referring to the tree called かし, or Quercus myrsinifolia. Therefore, I call 橿 LIVE OAK, a term that is synonymous with EVERGREEN OAK.) LIVE OAKs are the ideal TREEs to use as BORDER (畺 Unicode-0x757a (#30074 畺)) markers.
