Suz and I went down to Cherry Creek Tree Farm this afternoon and picked out our new White Ash. The back yard needed a bit more shade as did the west side of the house. We are taking advantage of the town of Erie's tree planting incentive and discounted installation coupon we got in the mail. It's a 2.75" caliper and I'd really like to save my back.

We really wanted to pick up a second: a Golden Rain Tree, but the only one they had left was half dead and wilted dry. we passed on the $80 offer. It had a limb that was torn from it and had a year to heal over. I wasn't sold.

We should see it in place by Memorial Day.
