A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Planted one tree on each bed at center. Hoping to obtain in time a sculptured tree between the two crape myrtles at each side and a selection of dwarf conifers in between. May plant some short lived perennials until the trees acquire size. I applied Mycorrhizal fungi (MycoGrow Hydro) to the soil around the roots which promotes grown, and plan to use fish/seaweed fertilizer during growing season as recommended by the nursery source. Tree moved to Stonehenge (2013). After flood in 2011 tree was declaining.http://www.fungi.com../Stonehenge_Gardens/Welcome.htmlshapeimage_6_link_0shapeimage_6_link_1
