Yea I researched the river birch a bit, I think that would work and they look nice. I’ll need one tree for the pondish area and maybe a smaller shrub like specie for where some runoff occurs. The wife is pretty pissed at me though because I just chopped down about 10 huge trees, those skinny but tall bastards, that hovered over or too close to the house and regrading the area to make a bigger backyard…she thinks I’m nuts. But when finished we can move the kids playground area from the side yard to the back, she’ll get my madness then…hopefully.
