| dnrevel | On March 28, 2023 | Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) This is a placeholder for a large, and disease prone white-flowering crabapple that was planted in the central raised bed in our backyard. It had grown too large for its space, and constantly dropped leaves all summer into the pool. It "self-destructed" during a recent ice storm and was removed professionally. We plan to replace it with something more suitable to the space. |
