So we had a little incident regarding a tree at a certain home improvement store. You see we don't know a lot about trees and such so we were looking at trees at this place and asking questions. We decided on a "Pink Lemon" tree and "Cherry Laurel" tree. Well, when we asked about the "cherry laurel" tree the guy told us it was a great tree and we would love it. We asked him if it was an actual cherry tree and he said yes. We're thinking "WOO HOO, we love cherries". Here is the thing, I wanted to know more and Oh did I find it. So looking up more information I found out that the leaves and branches contain high amounts of cyanide and the berries are poisonous to humans and grazing animals. YEAH!!! Well that tree got pulled out of the ground the next day and we got ourselves another tree. The home improvement store is now going to have a meeting on how they need to familiarize themselves with all the plants and there's supposed to be warning labels on the poisonous plants.
We now have a "Weeping Willow" and a "Pink Lemon" tree. Yeah BABY!!!

I forgot about the other tree. I will get to see it tonight and see how your garden is progressing.
I hope they shape up their staff at "that certain home improvement store". Some people don't seem to understand the potential danger in certain plants and trees.
Ooo, if I lived in FL I would have a Meyer lemon tree.
