'Tis the season!

My wife really wants a red-bud. I hear they need some protection from the winter winds. I guess we could but it behind the house, that would block the west winds and the gazebo would block the north winds.

I would like to get one of those Japanese Maples, cutleaf maple. I seen different names for them They have very fine leaves, almost look like marijuana, they turn a deep crimson red. They're pretty delicate trees though and need protection. We had one at our other house, I was tempted to dig it up and bring it here.
