2024 Major Landscape Installs
2023 was all about converting to xeric landscaping. This year it's about some anchor plants and hardscape. Counted six heads on the rostrata and the thompsons are a double and a triple. No, I did not plant the rostrata!! It was worth every cent to have their crew do it. I will be planting the thompsons however.

Those are gorgeous and must’ve cost you a pretty penny! Considering how slowly mine is growing I keep thinking about buying one of the big guys and saving myself a couple of decades of growth.

@Gafoto After turning 64, flatlining twice in one day and a double bypass that thought became a reality. I have some small ones also planted around it. Going to conduct a $275 rostrata experiment. Have a small 2 footer in a container. Going to unceremoniously Sawzall it at the base. "Supposed" to come back as a multitrunk. Sawzall the top off and make it a topcut and stick it beside the big one as a multitrunk. Then I'm gonna plant the remaining trunk and it's supposed to sprout also.
Saw all this butchery on YouTube so I know it's true.
