Any suggestions on the best way to help the mimosa in the event that it does send up shooters in spring? We have already decided to plant a magnolia tree in her memory right in the middle of our front yard, the mimosa, if it comes back, is being kept due to the sentimental value it holds for us as a family. We hope to have the foundation cleared and pass inspection by the end of August so that we can begin construction on our new home by mid September. Provided all goes as planned, we hope to be moved in before the beginning of next winter, and what a blessing that day will be! After spending last winter living in a tent that we pitched in our unisulated shop and this winter in a tiny camper given to us by one of our amazingly supportive and generous friends whom we consider family by this point, we have truly learned what it means to be grateful for all of the little things that we so often take for granted.
