The replacement flowering plum tree has been in the ground for about a month now, and it’s doing great. In a month or two, it will come out of its winter funk and start producing the beautiful purple leaves and delicate pink flowers that we enjoyed with our old plum tree which was snapped off at the bottom of its trunk when we had the monsoon microburst last summer.
When we asked David, our landscaper, to replace the tree, we asked for a more substantial, mature tree, that would withstand our harsh monsoon weather when, and if, we get it. David’s crew chief, Rigo, adjusted the irrigation so the tree could adjust to the transition to its new home.
