I love trees so I wanted to get in the habit of once a year taking photos of each of my trees so I can visually see the growth over the years. The photo snapshot date is over the Memorial Day weekend.
My American Elm Tree in 2010.
My Yoshino Cherry Trees in 2010.
This is my October Glory Red Maple tree. There was a bit of root damage due to being dropped off the back of a pick up truck before planting so I hope it recovers nicely. The summer of 2010 was rough on this tree.
This is an Eastern Redbud in 2010 which has a wonderful pink flower in the spring. I suspect some disease has set into the top back branches as I've had to prune off a few major branches in the past years.
I bought these Leyland Cypress Trees in the early summer of 2010 from Costco. Here's to fast growth to provide some privacy. I couldn't really find a good root flare on these small containerized pots so who knows if I planted to the appropriate depth.
