I’m finding myself completely frustrated over the fact that, being such a tree nut, I had such a hard time figuring out what type of tree this is. I’m offering a $10 Amazon gift card to the next person who figures it out, or at least comes the closest. It is an absolutely beautiful […]
When you are working with a container garden, it’s important to use trees and shrubs that don’t mind being a little pot bound. You will inevitably need to prune the roots or repot a tree or shrub occasionally, so don’t plan on planting a tree or shrub if you think you’ll regret having to […]
I realized that it has been a while since I wrote anything on trees. Since I recently acquired a small shoot of a Redbud tree, I figured this would be a great place to start back up!

Probably one of the most popular ornamental trees, Dogwood is one of the most beautiful trees in the Spring. It’s flowers usually bloom before the leave start to bud, and display in varying shades of white and pink. In the fall, the leaves turn red to maroon and the branches are decorated with red berries.

I decided to start with Maple because it is probably the most common shade tree anywhere in the US. They are top performers and live long if you pick a species that is best for your zone, or climate. They are typically easy to care for and are absolutely beautiful in the fall. […]
Just a quick review, since we’ll be talking a lot about trees. There are two main “types” of trees, evergreen and deciduous.
