Tomorrow morning the crew will be here to plant my five new trees;
One Fat Albert Colorado blue spruce, about 6'
One Colorado blue spruce, about 10'
One sugar maple "Legacy", 4" caliper, about 14'
One elm "Accolade", 5" caliper, about 14'
One double flowering horse chestnut "Baumanii", 5' caliper, about 12'

This is a combination of my last Christmas and birthday gift, I've
waited patiently and am looking forward to the event. I will have
pictures.

Planting tree's in the 90's ? Why not Sept 30?

It can be just as hot here in September. I can water them, they'll be
well on their way by winter. They're fairly large trees with huge
root balls... they're already dug and out of the ground anyway... it's
better they go into the ground now then sit in the hot sun until
September. They're from a very large nursery, they know what they're
doing, I haven't lost any of their trees, in fact they're all doing
exceptionally well.
