This willow was a bush when we moved here 15 years ago.  We've been in a drought for a few years and our water use was restricted.  The poor tree was getting some new growth this year, then we had high winds and it split in half.  I have someone coming to cut out the dead wood from the half that is still standing.  I doubt that it will regain it's height in my lifetime, if ever.   Globe_Willow___3

This elm is determined to grow, despite having been cut down several times.  We finally decided to leave it alone and see how it does.  Gotta admire its gumption!   Determined_Elm_Tree_
