I really don't understand why more people don't plant more trees in their yards. Cheap investment for huge payoff in the future.

Totally! I planted 100 willows of various species this year. They were just sticks sent in a box in the mail. A lot have already budded and have little leaves. Should be a nice wind break in a couple of years. Got them from bluestem.ca
