Uh oh. What is the right place for the Purple Plums, Carolyn? I had figured on the Newport for the front and don't want to select the wrong tree. Willows here get ravaged so constantly that I couldn't do it after seeing what happens to my friend's willow but I do enjoy them from a distance. My friend left for 15 days on an island above mainland Michigan, just before Irene struck here, and was afraid of what might happen to the willow, her shed and her garage, but this time she had no damage. The photo shows what a former unnamed storm did to the poor willow.

John - it's a shame when storms create such fears that people remove the large and lovely shade trees but after coming so close with Irene I can understand their fears are not unfounded.
