In a rare stroke of genius, it seems they waited for the drought to break to do this, it looks like its going to be wet all week, hopefully that will give these trees a good head start.

I got the tree planted in front of our building on 11th Street wayyyy back in 1989. It was ascrawny and pathetic sapling thenbut now it's HUGE.

Old proverb: When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time to plant a tree? Today!
