My husband is somewhat sorry that I decided to write about my favorite tree this week. As I started to think more about them, I started to see all kinds of possibilities for more of them in my own yard - so much so that I feel I really must have at least five new ones for fall planting.

And so - I'm off to comb the catalogs to see what I can find.
