Hello Everyone,
I thought I would share some updated pictures from around my yard. Things have really gone WILD in the last 2-3 weeks. Here's a overview of the back of my property off the second floor deck. Everything you see is new plantings from this April. The Southern Magnolia is a D.D. Blanchard Should do ok I would think.
Here's a closer picture the washys they have about four foot clear trunks. 
There's two rows of bananas here totaling 9 big ones. They were planted from what I thought was small 5 gallon pots. I counted 55 babies today all sizes. The biggest ones are in the back. The storage container is about 9 feet. 
Here's the front of my house where I kinda have a jungle thing going on this year! Everything in front is new except my 3 year old Trachy, which most of you have seen pictures of. This palm has grown so fast this year, when I planted it the two new trachys where about a foot taller. Not the case now the old one grew atleast two feet and is pushing 7 feet. 
Here's a close up, you can see a few cacti that Tim Gave me
. 
Here's My first crepe myrtle (Natchez) flowering. I didn't really think it would flower this year, figured it would root in. I was wrong, it has a nice full head! 
There's more stuff, but I put up alot of pictures already today.
I have to say that growing these types of trees and plants is sure rewarding in our climate. Watching this stuff grow has really been awsome! As I'm sure it's been the same for you guys. Not that are summer has been really great heat wise. I'm still happy with the growth rates so far. Remember we still have a solid 2-3 months left of good growing!
After that it's time for some serious protection on my end!
Hope you all enjyed the Pictures!
Bill
