Kent...Don't look for much shade from it in your lifetime...they are
fantastic trees, but such slow growers...especially the first few years.
The faster a tree grows though, the more weedy it becomes with weak branches
often damaged in the least little ice storm!
Sorry about that...
See you at First Look this weekend! I'm really excited to be able to go for
a third time!
Best wishes,
