Proposed Planting Map

As promised, here is the proposed planting map for the 10 trees that we will hopefully be able to put in up front this Spring. The Arbor Day Foundation will hopefully be shipping them to us soon.

The two crapemyrtle shrubs, shown in the greenish blue will be going in up at the very front of the property. There is a "temporary" power pole there with some guy wires that I'd like to hide, so the crapemyrtles with their multiple trunks should be able to do that fairly well.

The three american redbuds are shown in light blue. One marking the Western property line, spaced between a catawpa and a bradford pear. Another, just West of the driveway will be placed North of the brown turkey fig, near a proposed future shed. The third will be about 20' North of the driveway over to the neighbors and 20' East of the main driveway.

We're not intending to continue planting in a complete 20'x20' grid like in the back, but the trees are set at the same spacing just in case we change our minds.

The Southern most washington hawthorne is spaced 20' North of the american redbud and the second is 40' North of that. These are shown in pink on the map.

The three white flowering dogwoods, shown in orange, are in a line across the Northern edge of the clearing. The one farthest East will be spaced 40' North of the washington hawthornes. They may be spaced 80' apart, although there currently isn't a plan for more trees along this border requiring us to maintain the pattern.
