not a good year for me
lost all my baby saplings (almost 100) due to wind/neglect. also lost another 15 or so others. almost all maples. 4 are still questionable. still green under the bark but no leaves.
i'm getting into desert roses now for resale on evil bay. not getting out of maples though. gotta find some nicely low branched j maples on evil bay.
bought 2 new raintrees to help me cheer up. i'll post pics of the first one that i have in hand soon.
