Did I mention I went to the state nursery a few days ago? Well, I bought the Jeffries pine and Austrian pine replacemnts. I got those in this morning.
I bought these gorgeous Winter berry plants. The tree at the nursery was a green ball about 20 feet in diameter with branches almost all the way to the ground. Like a giant shrub. They get beautiful foliage in the fall and they get really cool looking berries that hang on the tree all winter. Had to have them. Also, they were in five gallon pots and cost $8 apiece. Quite the spluge. I got five of them.
So, I am wandering around the Westside Windbreak deciding where to put them when I decide that one of the Staghorn Sumacs is really in the wrong spot now that I have finished the long shed/shade cover/greenhouse area. I have an imaginary driveway to the back couple of acres and I want that to be wide enough to pull a truck and trailer in there. We don't have horses but someone in the future might. I have always thought a small sturdy cart pony would be nice. I probably won't ever get one but I wanted to leave the option for some corrals and animals in the back area open for us or for future owners of the property.
So, I decided I had to dig that sumac up even though it is a good four feet tall now and has a couple of babies as well. It wasn't too bad of a job and I think I will move them down the line a ways. That way I can keep some of my fancier trees up closer to the house. Now I have even more trees to plant so I better get crackin'.
