I internet shop land a lot and I am looking for rich,fertile land for gardening-found property in Pocola that says it has oak and hickory trees and looks great.My husband does not want pines,wants hardwoods.Any other suggestions?Oklahoma has so many types of land.

That should be some good land, but it borders the ouachita mountains and it may be rocky in some areas. Good luck! And yes, Oklahoma has a lot of different types of land. It's only one of four states with 10 ecosystems.

This is the day for looking at places by satellite.

From the terrain map around Pocola, it looks like there are a lot of cultivated fields so it is probably real fertile on the river bottom. In my experience, if the land is covered with oaks and hickory trees, it is because it is too rocky for cultivation. You might be interested in what we call broken farm land. It is a funny name, the land is not broken. It means part forest and part land that can be cultivated.

Thank you for the information.How do I research "broken farm land"?Sounds just like what I want.

I have only heard the term in conversation, such as "turkeys like broken farm land."

I would google, "part pasture, part wooded, for sale" and see what happens.

Hi, I'm origanolly from Pocola, the land in Pocola is very low and tends to get water logged when ever it rains. My brother planted abeautiful garden once, and it was grawing lush, until the first good rain then it looked like a large mud puddel. Be sur4e and look at the land after a rain before you buy it.
