I replaced the lost redbud, the Forest Pansy sapling that was decapitated in last October's snowstorm.We found a large specimen at Twin Nursery in Canton.
The leaves will fade during summer's heat, but right now it is bright wine colored.
I also got a honeysuckle, Lonicera 'John Clayton' with yellow blooms and I put that by the tuteurs in front of the meters. It says it will take full sun as well as deep shade, and I did not realize how dark it can be behind the Alberta spruces there.
The house shades the area until afternoon, and it is a very deep shade. Then, after noontime, the western sun hits it.
