In an earlier post I mentioned that my husband came home with 206 trees from an auction. I now have 172 in the ground and the rest were sold. I have been asked what kind of trees did you all plant? So here is the list. If any of these varieties peak your interest and you want to see what they look like, let me know.
15 Lombardy Poplar
10 Balsam Poplar
5 Kelsey Flowering crab(FC)
5 White FC
5 Gladiator FC
10 Manitoba Maple
5 Peach leaf willow
5 Marquette Pussy Willow
10 Laurel Willow
2 Northern Gold Forsythia
4 Compact cranberry
2 Burning bush
5 Silver leaf Dogwood
10 Alpine Currant
10 Villosa Lilac
20 Cotoneaster
2 Valentine cherry
2 Cupid cherry
8 Amur cherry
3 Shubert Choke cherry
10 Martin Saskatoon
5 Mint Julep Juniper
5 Calgary Carpet Juniper
2 Blue Star Juniper
4 Colorado Blue Spruce
2 Mugho Pine
2 Dwarf Globe Cedar
4 Pyramid Cedar
That should equal 172. Thanks to a fairly high water table I haven't had to do a lot of watering, or my friend Leah who graciously watered them while we went on holidays. The 2 I am most excited about is the saskatoon berries and the Flowering crab. And the willow if they survive being planted next to our sewer ejector, that was so gross planting there!

That's a lot of trees and a lot of digging!
