I came across P.V.s a few weeks ago and feel it would be a perfect fit for our small(ish) front yard and a good replacement for our flowering pear. I have only begun searching for them, and was frustrated with Lowes and Monrovia, as they proved to be dead ends and would not let me order a tree. I'd love to see how much your trees have grown and how much they've branched out. I found your site visiting the UC Davis all-stars site, and I remember your site when we first visited UC Davis last year to pick up some CA natives. (a couple little sages and bush germander.

However, the lack of rain made them lose their leaves (normal behavior) because I didn't water them at all beyond the first few weeks. But now they're leaving out and will hopefully make flowers soon.<br /><br />Village Nurseries may deliver to Davis so don't hesitate to ask them. I've been dealing with Jeanne Neshem and she's been great.
