No dead plants yet, though Yellow Pear is still in a slow downward spiral. But the net total of living plants went up today when the landscapers came and planted three citrus trees: tangerine, grapefruit, and lemon. So now it appears our planting is complete, except they seem to have given us the wrong variety of lemon tree. No problem -- I left a message, and they'll come swap it out (this already happened with our apricot tree). In spite of the various mishaps, we'd definitely recommend these landscapers, particularly given how inexpensive they were.
