damn you have some nice trees dave. I had the opposite situation, last spring right after I got hired at the nursery my sister inlaw decided it would be a good idea to get a new puppy. . . a plant eating one. . . Luckly she(the pup) got to all of my sis in laws potted garden plants first, after the dog tore into one I immeadiatly loaded my trees into the bike trailer and took them to work with me the next day where the collection has remained and grown over the last year. I did bring my favorite and most sentimental 2 home with me when I got laid off for the winter, and I just went and picked up 7 more yesterday. Sad part is now I have to keep them in front yard, though totally hidden from view and right up against the house it still makes me nervous.
