With most of our trees just a year old, we don't have much to rake now.
I have aerial photos of our neighborhood from the 50s, 60s, 70, 80 and 90s back when the entire area was a farmer's wheat field. No trees at all, and for a while the area was the soccer field for a local university.
When the neighborhoods went in in the 80s and later the trees were planted. Out house was built in 1995. The builder planted the cheap Bradford Pear trees. They grow fast but are vulnerable to wind and ice storms. We had five of them when we moved in. They all grew large, and were destroyed by ice storms.
Now we have six hybrid trees that flower and approved by the master gardener wife.
