In my yard in Conway, SC, there are 6 trees I planted that were sent by the Arbor Day Foundation: 2 hawthorns, 2 crabapples, 1 white pine, and 1 redbud. There are also other trees I planted, either given to me or bought other places: a bald cypress, a magnolia, a flowering plum, a Bradford pear (though I would prefer a true pear tree). I have cultivated or transplanted a few "volunteer" trees: another bald cypress, 3 maples, several oak trees (willow oak and water oak). When I bought my land, there were also pecan trees already here! I love the shade that all my trees provide and I've seen a number of bird nests in them over the years. They make my yard a haven for me and wildlife. Most of all, I love looking at them because they are SO beautiful.
