Trees

When I was a kid we planted an Arizona Ash in our backyard.. it grew very quickly. So, when Diego's Grandpa gave us a baby Arizona Ash, I expected the same from it.. and I was correct! This thing has more than tripled it size in the last 2 years. Check it out:

Note: at some point we moved it away from the fence..

In other back yard news..
Our banana trees are making bananas! My mom & aunt have beautiful banana trees.. and they have already made some bananas.. I thought ours wouldn't because they get so wind blown in our backyard.. they definitely don't look as good as theirs.. but we do have bananas!
