New Trees

Last month we put some new trees in the back yard. To make room we took out the plum tree, which had spread out much too low, was very difficult to mow under, and took a big chunk of usable space out of the yard, and one of the apple trees, which was also not much of a useful shade producer. We put new trees in those spots and added another in an unused corner of the yard. We went for trees that would grow well in the Colorado weather and would provide good shade. Thanks to John and Jim for their help in getting these things in the ground.
