Eowwwwwww.... That's what I'm talkin' about!!!

lol...

Yo, Maggie... I have some bad news for ya' about yer red bud... Well, maybe not as bad as it could be but...

... Mr. Redbud is famous for his hoggish fiberous root system... A 10 foot tree will commonly have a root system that spreads to 30 or more feet... That means that yer new garden is gonna have quit a few nasty redbud roots you have to contend with...

Speaking of redbuds, however, we are off to Minerial, Va. to pick up one "Heart of Gold" Redbud that got left out of our large order for the landscaping job we have at the old Luray train depot... Yeah, it's a shame to have to drive 2 hours for one danged tree but stuff happens...

But, we'll make3 the best of it seein' as since we'll be in Mineral we might as well pop over to Acer Acres and pick up a few Japanese maples for the garden center... And they also sell 3-4' umbrella pines for a mere $45 so might as well pick up one or two of them, too... Great tree!!!
