Half a tree

[Today’s run: 6 miles with Boardtown Runners]

Last fall we ordered some trees from the local landscaper.  We were frugal about it and asked for a good deal on some trees that they had ordered for another job that didn’t happen.

In December 2010 they came and planted the two we purchased.

We have been watering them and taking good care of them.  They seem to be growing well.  But both have the lower half on one side rather bare.  I think that is because of the way they were stored at the nursery after the first job fell through.

I called the landscaper and he said they should do ok.  And, the top part is growing great, both upward and outward on all sides, both trees.  So I think what will happen is that we will eventually trim the tree up to the point where the new growth is shooting out all directions.

They will be nice looking trees someday.
