Also 'Peaches and cream (the backup to the one in ground) is blooming. All the in ground Brugs seem to be doing just fine with the terrible wind and rain we've had over the last few weeks. The wind took out a big branch on one of the 'Charles Grimaldi', but it probably needed to come off anyway.

We had 8 trees rip out of the ground, 7 are back in and restaked (AGAIN!!!), but we lost one of our big Eucalyptus trees and had to cut it up to get it away from the GH and the fence. At least we won't have to restake that sucker again. LOL! The winds were above 70MPH and lasted for about 5 hours on Saturday morning. Frightening and 4 inches of rain that came down horizontally.
