TREES SLEEPING !

This young Japanese Maple tree is going dormant, slowing down, getting ready for winter. Fall is a spectacular time of year !

Careful ! when Selecting your Ornamental Pear Trees

Ornamental Pears have spectacular flower displays each Spring, but when selecting your pear trees pay attention to what variety you are purchasing. Some varieties have a round shape to their crown and others a tighter more upright growth pattern. If you are planting the pears in a row for a dramatic flowering effect each spring, be sure to match varieties so they have a similar mature growth pattern/shape.

Notice the different shape of the tree in the middle.

Tree Cracks Wall !

I was installing a tree swing in this large oak tree last year while a man was installing this concrete and stone wall. He said to me "chances are the wall will crack where it curves around this large oak". He explained how the action of a large tree blowing in heavy winds moves the roots and ground under the tree slightly, but enough to crack a wall. He was right !.

Tree are amazing.
