Transplanted some maples that were growing in the ditch by the road. Technically not ours, but they get mowed down every summer by the road maintenance tractor, so I think they'll like it better out back behind the barns.

Maples here are really crazy. They pop up everywhere and race to height really fast. Even inside the crown of trees. Well adapted.
