Ulmus (Elm)

This tree also came from the Arbor Day Foundation, and again, it wasn't supposed to, so I had to have some help identifying it. It's doing great!

Lagerstroemia (Crepe Myrtle)

This little tree came with our Arbor Day package, and it certainly wasn't supposed to! I had to go to an online gardening site to get some help identifying it. Regardelss, it's growing fabulously in Chris's Bonsai Garden. Let's just hope it survives the winter!
