Now then, walk back around from whence you just came . . . the sidewalk. Schlepp due east down the sidewalk to the edge of my property line, at the large Modesto Ash in the parking strip. (Note, if you will, that The City was out several weeks ago to lop off a main branch, a codominant stem trunk, which was splitting off the main trunk and at risk of failing, falling into the street and harming passersby.) Turn toward the house and you'll see the lovely 7-8-ft white Crepe Myrtle shrub. See how it screens the house/yard from passersby? PERFECT! Just what I wanted. And with all-season interest, flowers, bark, wood, shape. Perfect, huh?

YES!!!

Take a look!
