That's great. You're saving a bunch of money. I've got a box of supertrees on the way.

Good idea. My trees are more early winter. I collect the little seeds (or seed-like thingies) when I pull them off and use them as ground litter under the trees.Originally posted by WNBranch View Post
Oak Leaf hydrangea is a very useful shrub, both in the yard (my wife really likes ours) and on the layout.

Thank you. Some hydrangea are not tough enough, but the oakleaf definitely is.
I also bring home the occasional twig when I'm out on the rail trail to try to make trees from.
When I need to make logs I'll remember that about cherry.

Yes, I guess I am saving money. I've thought about getting supertrees as well but I think they might contrast too much with my current trees. I sort of like my simple trees. Anyway, I'm awfully cheap.

I like your simple too. My tree philosophy is a bit complicated. In a couple of days I'll elaborate on my tread.Originally posted by Michael_Hohn View Post

Be cautious about using plants with seeds (or anything else rodents find tasty). I only had one tree on the layout with seeds but the mice found it. Then I guess they got pissed at me for lousy hotel breakfast and gnawed the knob off a cellular windowshade, twice.JamesComment

That's something to keep in mind, although mice would probably have better luck looking for corn chips on my floor.

Mike,
The house came out great! I like your use of yard plants for trees. I plan on doing the same when the time comes.

Mike, looks like your little house conversion project was a real success! As are your oak leaf hydrangea trees.
Being of Scottish decent, we shy away from words like cheap. We prefer to use the word frugal instead laddy!

Thank you, Greg!
Frugal: Yes, I like the sound of that better.

As long as you’re generous in the ways that count then you’re ok.
