At some point, you will want to visit your local library (or bookstore) to obtain books that can help you identify what tree species you have or may want. Plus, consider books that can tell you who you else is visiting yard other than deer!

Some trees are counter cyclical, only producing flowers in late fall when the temperatures drop into the low 40s to mid-30s. Our Witch Hazel started blooming yesterday. Note: it's leaves were bright gold, then red before they dropped.
