We finally have two new Ficus trees. We had planted four the same week I got preg. with Tatum and they did really well. Then we had the freeze of last winter that just killed them off. It was so devastating since they had gotten so big. We live next to a green belt and because most of our backyard is grass, we believe our yard was much colder and that's why they didn't make it (or so we were told). So back to square one. These are a little bigger than the ones we had planted 5 years ago, so hopefully they will thrive and grow strong. Daryl really staked them down well and made really nice wells for them. We are currently in monsoon season and I remember having to run out and hold each tree while Daryl went around and re-staked our Queen Palms and Ficus trees a few Monsoon seasons ago and that was not fun! So bring it on Monsoon lol!!

I didn't realize the "originals" died :( But I am happy you got new ones!!
BTW, I love the little playground thing you have in your yard! P would love that!!!
Got it for $100 at Sams Club last Christmas and saw the same one online a few months later at Costco for $250! They build forts with it with blankets on top.
