When we got home from Utah we found this little beauty waiting for us! The city of Colorado Springs instituted a street tree program and our neighborhood was one of those chosen for participation. I thought I had missed out on it because our neighbor across the street had already picked his up and planted it himself, but I guess we just got lucky and it was delivered and planted while we were gone. A free tree and free labor; what a bargain! It's a Tartarian Maple so it should have some nice fall color. We had picked a flowering pear tree instead but I guess everyone else had picked the same thing so we got our second choice. I'm so excited to see it grow and change through the seasons.
