So um, I still have 12 sticks in 12 pots, but miraculously 9 of them now have leaves!
All 3 Goldenraintrees!
The lonely White Flowering Dogwood (1 of 4)
All 3 Eastern Redbuds!
And both Crapemyrtles!
I love the leaves on the Eastern Redbuds and the Goldenraintrees.
All of these lovelies will grow big and strong and in a short few 20 years, they will look like this:
 |
| A full grown Eastern Redbud |
|
 |
| Goldenraintree |
 |
| White Flowering Dogwood |
 |
| Crapemyrtle |
Now, as I said before
here: Most are up for grabs. I am willing to part with both Crapemyrtles only because I already have one in my backyard and three in my front yard. The City of Gilroy obviously LOVES Crapemyrtles! I'm not complaining, they are beautiful trees, and they bloom in the summer, not spring. Two of the Eastern Redbuds, and two of the Goldenraintrees are also up for grabs. Since only one white flowering dogwood took root, I'm keeping him.
So these little sticks with leaves are ready for their forever homes. However, I think they should stay in their pots for a bit longer. But then again, I don't know anything really about keeping trees alive, especially baby ones.
So far only one has been truly spoken for. My mom has laid claim to one of the Crapemyrtles. Whether she remembers sending me that email or not.
If anyone wants one, please let me know and we can arrange their pick-up/delivery. I'm serious! I cannot plant all of these in my yards. Well, I could but then mowing would be like a mowing/edging obstacle course.
