I don't know where you're located, but it looks like one of paperbark elms (ulmus parviflora) that are becoming invasive weeds in my area.

For the third year in a row, a pair of swallows--tree swallows, we think--have appeared, ready to build a nest in a bird house in our small backyard. We assume they're offspring of last year's birds. They each find a perch on two shepherd's hooks attached to our deck. We delight in seeing them swoop and circle, then alight six feet from us. Once Mama is sitting on eggs, Papa feeds her diligently and keeps watch. Often, he'll go in the nest and she'll fly off to find her own insects. However, as closely as we try to watch, we've only once seen the babies eventually take off and fly away.

Ha! Even after a couple of days in the 30's we have 8-10 inches of heavy wet snow. But it won't be long... This spring I'll be getting the 1969 Charger 12 running again with the new/used engine. I also want to get my trip bucket working with it and I have a power lift project that looks promising too. Need to find a box blader grade cheap - I have been using my furrower followed by the blade since I don't have one. Too much water too close to my foundation. At least this year I can have the blade on the 1964 854 and the furrower on the Charger rather than having to switch back and forth. The furrower (Brinly) can also be used as a sub soiler. I am hoping with lots of passes I can loosen things up to make putting in the drainage pipe easy without too much hand work And the bucket will be handy to move the sand and gravel to backfill around it.

The HD and Lowes here have gone crazy with there prices.They only have S.minors,Green Mediterranean fans,and B.capitatas.They do have one more type W.robustas,the worst looking ones I've ever seen. Chad, The T.fortuneis they have here are no where near the size of the ones in your picture.They have 1gal.size palms in 3gal.size pots for $20. There doing that with all there cold hardy palms here.There all a lot smaller than what size pot they have them in.Then there priced twice what they was last year.I cant believe what there doing.Most of them has some type of disease on them also.You would think there selection would get better and there sizes would be at least what there supposed to be. If HD and Lowes keep doing this it will drive people away from buying palm trees.It's sad to because there is no other places that sell cold hardy palms around here anymore.They need to get there palms from some other vendor than the one there using. I just thought I would post about this so people wouldn't think it's just in the north.I'm going back to the Internet myself to buy my palms from. If anybody knows of a good nursery around Atlanta,GA.that sells a good selection of palms at reasonable prices,please let me know. Randy
