Q:
I purchased this plant to beautify my yard with red flowers for my
brother's wedding. The container it came in only said "blooming
trellis". Angela E.
When
I was a kid, my family would traipse into the woods to find an
acceptable red cedar tree to grace our living room for Christmas. Now

tree afterwards seems a waste of natural resources. Why not buy a
living tree and then plant it in your landscape after the holidays? Here

Q:
What kind of fruit tree is this? I have three of these in the yard. The
trees were there when we moved in and are native, I think. Ray L.
