Before dinner at Jeff and Mary Kaye’s the other night we took a tour of the grounds. Jeff had offered us a redbud tree and we were planning on digging it up ourselves but Jeff already had our tree in a pot. Redbud trees drop seedlings and they are all over their yard. The flowers grow close to the branches in the early Spring and the trees skeletal winter profile becomes outlined in hot pink/red before the leaves come out.
Jeff and Mary Kaye live in the Genesee River valley between the river and the greenway and their soil is as rich as can be. Water in the basement rich. Our little redbud’s were drooping when we got it home but it has bounced back. We’re watering it like there is no tomorrow.
