Location: EY- Bed #11 (Sept. 2009)*

Tree arrived 4 ft. high and was originally planted in the West yard, a very sunny and open location then.
Planted in a raise bed the ground was also dry.
After 2 yrs. of barely surviving we moved the tree to the East Yard in a cooler spot. Bed #11 has not provide the moist soil this tree needs and although is better than before, is not happy. The hot summer and strong winds may be more than this tree can handle.
