We had this GORGEOUS river birch (or beech?, I don't know the difference) tree planted today.
The tree is amazing...its lacey leaves and distressed bark are sooo beautiful!
Here's the thing, I don't like the placement of it. It really really bothers me! The plan was to plant three in this tiny space behind the deck. I want them to move the initial tree over and centre all three on the deck...
Moving it over would close the gap at the end (see our neighbor's door?). Why didn't they put it there? Our old and inoperable air conditioner unit was left in the corner. (I never told the landscapers to remove it, so its my fault)
What do you think? Does the tree need to move over two to three feet? Or am I being crazy?
Maybe if they mash them really close together it will be fine....but I see where they dug the second hole and I'm not quite on board.
RESOLUTION: Planting two trees along side of deck (second tree will be evenly spaced along the deck, so the two trees are more or less the same distance from the corners of the deck)....the third tree will be returned to the nursery for a TREEBATE! Overtime the trees will fill out the space!
