very nice


Thank you.


Hmmm... I have a few questions:
Does the trunk of the ornamental pear and others seem too tall for the
trunk width?
Do you add fertilizers to the trees? Have you pruned the trees?

I had two maples, I added fertilizers to the maples and they grew fast,
tall and beautiful. I did not prune them and the tops were thick with
leaves. Then one day strong winds cracked the trunks of the six year old
trees. My failure to prune the tops of the trees to help the wind flow
through.

I hope the same does not happen to you.
I am just curious on what care has been done for your trees, if any.
