I love anykind of 'weeping' trees, I love birch, and I love the 'crookedie' trunk!!! I'm hoping it will be in full leaf next summer!!! "I Love Virginia!"

I've been wanting a purple smoke bush ever since I saw the one at our community college just up the road in full "bloom" a few years ago - it is a mature tree and WOW was that ever gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see yours in bloom! Your other new plants aren't half bad either!
