Front Yard Progress

4/9/2014: I made a bigger ring around the Italian Stone Pine and mulched it well with bark and fertilized it with one gallon of Miracle Grow (its only shot for the season). A portrait. So far, I have noticed the bottom branched growing upward and the needles coming back to green. Doing well so far! I only hope it straightens up a bit. I swear I planted it plumb to the yard.

Also, another shot of the Cypress and ottos for good measure. The Cypress still wants to lean outward so I staked it for a while longer
