buying and planting mature/established trees - posted in Home, Garden & Renovating: Hi, Has anyone done this? I know developers do it and palm trees in particular but wondering if anyone has 'cheated' and done this in their yard. Our backyard gets faces west so I'd love to get some 3=4 m tress in asap to block the sun onto the deck in the afternoon and provide a climbing tree for the kids in a couple of years.
