Name: Toni Denver Metro (Zone 5a) Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Cindi - Get some pinons. They'll survive there easily. They'll tolerate down to like zone 4 and can handle years & years & years of drought. Only problem is that they're VERY slow growing, like getting 15' tall in 30 years. That's the state tree of NM, where the wind blows constantly.
And I'm insanely jealous that you have a "pond" where you can catch fish! OMG!!
