Trees

Our HOA required that we put in 6 trees. I never realized how difficult it was to pick out a tree. I had no idea there were so many varieties. We ended up with the following:


2 Spiral Junipers--I knew I wanted these babies all along, but was concerned about the high cost and the difficulty in finding ones I liked. We finally found these for only $35. I just hope they actually count as trees and not just shrubs.





3 Flowering Pears--in the parking strip. We were lucky and got them for a good price, but I can't remember how much exactly.



1 Japanese Maple--$25 from Walmart. We were worried about this little guy, but he is really recovering from a nasty snow storm and is looking quite nice. We were advised not to place him in the afternoon sun, but went with it anyway. We figured for $25 we could take the risk. Seems to be fine. We'll see what happens in the scorching heat of August.
