(17,570 posts)Im going to plant some of those. I trained a weeping willow to be a tree and planted two lilac bushes under it. One gets morning sun and one gets afternoon sun and they are both happy.

(34,189 posts)I love them and had them around my yard in my old house. When we built this house a hundred feet away we transplanted them, but they died - I think we put them where they got too much afternoon sun. Either that or the deer ate them. It's amazing how much difference a hundred foot change can make!
