Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Finally Transplanted!

Quite a few years ago, I bought some bareroot seedlings of alder to add to our property.   I planted a couple out in the yard (apparently they didn't make it)...and planted the majority in a decaying mulch pile.  They did well there, and I intended to move them two years ago...and again last year.  Today, I finally put two of the three or so into the landscaping.   (I suspect at least one of them is two trees growing together.)

I believe I have two more potted elsewhere.

In the process of digging them up, I dug out a red oak that I put in as a germinating acorn.  it looks to be about 4 years old--so, I dug another hole and added the oak to our developing woodland.  :)
