We planted a couple trees 15 years ago. They have grown. #TBT

Bald Cypress and Dawn Redwood Trees - 240926

It has been 15 years since we planted the Dawn Redwood tree in our backyard (tree to the right in above photo) and it is still growing strong. I’m starting to think we may have picked a spot a little to close to the pool, although it is still 40 feet away. A year later in 2010, we added a Bald Cypress which has been a beautiful tree … although both do shed some very fine conifer “lacy needles.”

So for this first Throwback Thursday #TBT of October 2024, check out the “when planted” (photo left below) vs a 2024 photo of the same Redwood tree (below right).

Also, the new photos were also an excuse to test the new iPhone 16 Pro Max camera … so click for larger photos.
