johnridleyNew trees, selected to replace the dying paper birch (I think I'll be getting a sugar maple to replace the ash tree that's coming out after dinner)
In the front yard, Tupelo AKA Blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica). It's very "architectural" - it has interesting bendy horizontal branches and open space inside. They get to be 75 feet high and 30 feet around.
And in the back, a River Birch. The paper birch nearby is still alive but not doing well; they don't really live very long anyway. I'll probably be pulling it in 2 years or so, hopefully the river birch will be jumpin' by then. They get to be 40-50 feet high, and 30 feet around.
