I never thought getting some shade would be fraught with such fear and apprehension. But it has been. Last night it was all I could think about and did not sleep well. This tree will not effect anyone in a negative way. I have been told it does not drop seeds and does not need a lot of water. I would have loved to have gotten a similar one to the ones already planted but they do not have that particular species anymore. The secondary ones of the that particular species are more spindly and sparse at the bottom and do not seem to grow the same way. I can do the comparison because they are the ones that have been planted more recently on the periphery. This one will have flowers but I have been told they do not drop any seeds.
I am just happy to finally have a tree in the ground. This year has been wonderful for me...on my deck...which faces west. Most people have not been happy with the summer because we have not had the usual hot sunny weather. But for me, this year, has been pleasant and comfortable.
It will take 6 or 7 years before the tree is of any real size. I am apprehensive about what might transpire before it reaches maturity. Maybe I will never live to see that day..even with this tree...which is a very fast growing tree, I am told. I love looking at trees. I will try to post a picture of my tree (when I get iPhoto up and working properly).
