| This was a couple weeks ago now (ok, so I need to download from my camera a bit more often). Planted as a 10 footer in 2000 it is nearing 30 feet high now. Though a very nice show both spring and fall, alas, the show is fleeting. Fortunately the summer folliage is a nice attractive deep green. And being warned it would not like clay, I planted one third of the rootball above grade in my sometimes chewing gum clay.
Prunus sargentii 'Ranchero'

| Gorgeous! Are you going to eventually sacrifice it for the conifers planted beneath the canopy? |

| Epic! I'll set something up to stop out soon. Maybe that time is now? |
