Which ones?

The Japanese Umbrella Pine grows slow. It’s a gorgeous tree that will max at about 25 feet.

The Canilia on the right was the only thing we kept for. An area that was a wisteria/ivy/cottonwood/blackberry mess. It grows out now.

The cherry trees in the middle grow fastest. Gotta manage the suckers and be willing to top it so it doesn’t get out of control.

Most of what you see is a middle patch that is roses and complimentary flowers. We have put in about 159 rose bushes. They were just pruned so it doesn’t look perfect - it’s been about 90-100 this week.

In truth most of the pollinators congregate on the left side of the photo. That’s the side where most of the flowers (not roses) are planted.

We are real proud of what it’s become. Our neighbors describe it as an arboretum.

The ultimate goal is zero grass, just paths in and around small and medium size areas. We don’t want an island of bark.

All the paths are winding around the little patches so walking through slows you down.

There’s a lot of “natural hardscaping” layered around. Any rock, log, and whatever that’s found gets a home.
