We've decided to plant a tree in our new yard, sometime next spring. Something we can watch grow and comment about how we planted it when it was only "this" tall.
I was thinking perhaps an "Autumn Radiance" or "Firedance" Maple (when did people start trade marking plant hybrids? It was probably that darned Rudolph Boysen and his accursed berry).
What do you think, any suggestions? What's your favorite tree? Of course, it has to be something that can survive here, don't tell me to plant an olive tree...I'd love to, but I really don't want to move my tree indoors every winter.
