Exclamation London Planetree - Parkway Planted - October 2022
2022 is shaping up to be a pretty light year in terms of planting trees on our property. And that's, ok in my book. Why? Because there are fewer and fewer spots that trees make sense left AND that means I'm becoming a little bit more picky in what I want to do. The last tree that we planted this year was in late May when we dug in a VERY SMALL Saratoga Ginko tree that one of the kids bought at the Morton Arboretum Arbor Day sale . When I say "very small", I mean very.small. We tucked this tree (more like a seedling) into an existing small, curved bed in our front yard. It is planted almost *amongst* a little cluster of Little Henry Sweetspire by our front walk. I put it there on purpose - because the tree WAS so small, I thought it needed both a little bit of protection both from damage as well as the conditions. This way, it can put on some new growth, get established and do that all in the shadow of the shrub. I also didn't want to have a tiny tree -
