I remember it as fabulously shady.<br /><br />This from bakersfield.com on March 29, 2010:<br />The purple-leaved tree planted in landscapes and gardens all over Bakersfield was made popular by former Bakersfield nurseryman Carl Krauter of Krauter Nurseries. The drought-hardy "Krauter's Vesuvius" flowering plum was first available in 1956. It is now planted all over the southwest.<br /><br />Wish Robby's would have stayed on Norris. Oildale doesn't really have any nursery available now.MAYBELLINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459481721591224275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931942690068259127.post-21589874619851994022011-04-10T12:30:20.605-07:002011-04-10T12:30:20.605-07:00Happy to see your post in favor of buying cars loc...Happy to see your post in favor of buying cars locally. An interesting story for your paper would be how many local "leaders" also do the same. Ask city & county elected officials, dept. chiefs, prominent business owners, and top folks at the chamber of commerce where they bought their personal autos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
