TREES

Cornus kousa 'Lustgarten Weeping' – a strict weeping form whose height will be determined by the nursery supplying the tree or by the owner given that they can find a small, youngster that can be staked to height as it grows. I can't help but think of the Jimmy Hendrix line from Axis: Bold as Love, “Queen jealousy envy waits behind him – Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.” Typical white June flowers and red fruits in the fall. Fertile ground in sun. Cutting grown... Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, they quietly understand...
