Grace: Subsequent generations are going to get a big kick out of our place. Or else it will be “What were they thinking?” and our babies will end up as firewood.

Ricki~~ After 9 years? You aren’t a kiddin.’ Well you know what they say, we plant a tree for the next generation. [Or something like that.] Beautiful fall color and the flowers are amazing.

I just spotted one on my way to the store. It was probably 20 feet tall and in full bloom, but the color was less spectacular than ours. The rain here has beaten off most of the leaves.

Isn’t it ironic how often we gardeners want something to stay small and it doesn’t, but when we’re hoping for some growth a plant often stays small… Glad you’re fine with your very slow sourwood. The fall color is just lovely!
