Spring 2015

These three trees opened up this spring and I was very pleased to see them leaf out!  However, the dogwood has split limbs from some ice storm in the past, and will be coming down in the new plans, to be replaced with a Persimmon tree.

The Japanese Maple below will also be leaving because it only has a little bit of life left in the trunk, and has been dying back all summer.  The Redbud will stay as part of the new design.  There is also a larger maple out front with very dark leaves and dense shade.  It will also stay.  I am looking forward to seeing if it's leaves turn in the fall.  Current photos will be in the next post.
