Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: My marginally hardy (if that) offerings and the climate., 0 by shortleaf

Thanks for the encouragement on planting the marginals.
My mobile home is about 15 SE of KCI airport. I don't know if thats considered still urban but its crowded like it is!
I went to OakCreekOrchard and checked out their wares, interesting.
I'd garner even more interest if I could get some of those growing on my lot!
Here is a shot of my mobile home. This was back before I acquired it, (note the for sale sign). This photo was taken on the West side, you can't see the South side. The place for all these marginals is between that shed and the front porch on the South side.
Although I dislike that metal shed. It reminds me too much of my current home!
J/k, but its an awful old metal shed and I want to replace with a better one eventually.
The side of the trailer that you can see is the North side, thats where I'm gonna plant regular stuff, like Yews and flowers. Maybe some Prickly-Pear beneath each window to discourage crooks!
I got the textbooks, if I could afford I'd have a library of them. Alas, I get them slowly, I have 11!

p.s. I have to cover up and obscure that green cable tv box thats in my yard also.
That small tree thats in the foreground of the photo was dead and I've already removed it.
Now, if I ever get serious with a lady and she wants me to re-locate, then all bets are off.
I'll have to re-locate the mobile home, perhaps, but there will be a South side where-ever I go! I don't want to leave that location though, that will mean some serious thinking on what to do with the deck the previous owners had constructed. I love the treated wood deck, it is huge. Its bigger than the community's laws allow, but since its already there, they won't say anything. It is on my lot, but not by much. I plan on having some serious decorating on it, plants, chairs and stuff.
If anybody wants to come over and chew the cud as they say, we can, and sip tea. I plan on having it furnished well enuff by next Summer.
