River Birch Update

Remember those river birches we planted out back? It's been a little over a year now and I'm happy to say that the survivors are doing very well.

They are still too young to soak up water, but I'm so glad that they have survived. We had a brutal winter that was hard on all our trees and plants, they didn't look very good in the spring. The good summer weather though (the same weather than gave us a stellar garden season) really brought them back. We have at least one surviving tree in each hole. We're so relieved - we have real little trees now!
