hey everyone!
i'm having the stump of my fallen pine tree ground down soon. i had a coupon to english garden's (a local nursery), for $10 buys you $20. i wanted a shrub that would be a little taller and wider and would be more of a screen in that corner of the yard. i found this shruuby tree called a "purple leaf sand cherry". it has reddish-purple stems and leaves that turn bronzy-green in the fall. in may, it get's little fragrant pinkish-white flowers. it is very oriental looking. it grows up to 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide, so i think it's going to make a nice little screen.
i've downloaded a pic of it for you to see:
