Meet the Trees

Two trees in our family were already residents when we moved into the house. "Tex" is a Cedar Elm. I lovingly call it the "Ugly Tree."

"Sarge" is a Sweet Gum Tree. SGT... get it... Sarge?!

"Maggie" moved in last year. Over the last year she grew 6 inches. We're anxiously waiting for those ivory sweet scented flowers.

The Peach Tree Family all had lovely pink flowers as soon as the weather got past the last freeze. We don't expect peaches this year, but the flowers are pretty.

"Harvey" is a Harvester Peach Tree. He hangs out on the side of the house in the front yard.

Harvey has the most leaves of the three.

"Lori" is a Loring Peach Tree. She was trimmed back the most when Randy got the trees from the nursery. Lori looks kind of funny with leaves coming straight from the trunk instead of branches.

Lori lives by the side gate in the backyard.

All three peach trees have these fuzzy objects on their branches. We're not sure if they're peaches or not. Research said the trees wouldn't produce fruit for a couple of years after being planted. We'll just have to wait and see.

"Belle" is a Belle of Georgia Peach Tree. She got a unique haircut before being planted. She shares the side of the yard with Lori.

So now you know how Randy and amuse ourselves. We name our trees! What can I say? They're part of our family.
