Today was a perfect day for planting. We planted 4 Leyland Cypress today and hope to plant 4 more in the coming days. With the Deer thicker than Mosquitoes around here we must put the extra effort in so that our trees do not become a snack for the Deer. The fence will be approximately 6' high and will stay in place until the trees are tall enough to survive Deer browsing on them.The Leyland Cypress is a cross between the Monterrey Cypress from California and the Alaskan Nootka Cypress. The Leyland is a fast growing tree, once established could grow 3-5 feet per year.
I hope when this is a 30 year old tree, the boy remembers planting trees with me.
