We've moved for the first time in 36 years and cut down 5 giant legustrums as I am allergic to them. To replace the ones by the sidewalk, we've planted a Japanese magnolia tree surround by 2 good size multi color azaleas - pink with red centers. Our neighbor has one of these trees and it's spectacular! Hope ours does as well!

We also have some plants we don't recognize so I need to get Plantify to identify them and see why they aren't doing well maybe move them.
