Gotta Take the Bad With The Good

* One of my Pluot trees all of a sudden looks like it died.  Very weird - one day fine - next day this:

I've been keeping it watered, and the other Pluot is fine.  Very strange.  I'm going to continue to water it and see what happens.  My Fig tree resurrected itself - maybe this one will too.

*  The big looming tree next to my house that I had removed early this year is trying to come back in the form of  several "bushes".  If I don't keep it cut back it will end up taking over.


* Since that tree was cut down there is a lot of sun on that side of the house.  This little weed/bush never bloomed before - this year it's beautiful.  I think I will prune it and see if I can get it to look nicer for next year.

I think the tree guy said it was a hackberry. Whatever it was it was GIANT monstronsity that gave me a lot of stress as part of it was hanging over my house. I am not a fan of cutting down trees, and this one was not sick - I just couldn't live under it.

understandable... when necessary a tree being cut down is a good thing. In this case you have a few happy plants as a result of more light!
