2007  Notes
3 Malus Prairie Fire  East A really tough, hot summer. No growth at all.
11 Russian Olive NW 2 The Fastest Grower out there - tremendous growth. The benefits of starting from seed.
17 Osage Orange E Center Thought this one was a goner. The other one died.  Good growth - the main trunk hardened off.

2008 Notes

0 Back Sprinklers Off line for @ 3 weeks.  Caused a lot of stress and grief.
3 Malus Prairie Fire  East Died
4 Malus Prairie Fire  West Died
17 Osage Orange E Center Trunk hardened off and then died - new trunk.  I think this might not be the right climate..
20 Canada Cherry Looks diseased - lots of hardened sap.
27,28 Both these crabs are from the older parent, sat in the starting bed for a year in pots.  I did my best to keep soil around the roots when transplanting.  They made it through the hottest part of center going strong.  I hope these guys made it but these are the latest inhabitants of the two indian burial grounds.
