The guys that trimmed the trees along my 1/4 mile frontage were very considerate, neat, professional, and took care not to butcher anything. They took pride in their work.
These Bee Bee Trees are entering their 3rd season. They are between 6-8 feet tall.
These Bee Bee Trees are the ones John shipped to me last September right before hurricane Sandy. Three out of four are sprouting leaves. The fourth may just be a late bloomer.

From the pic above you can see the late frost turned the leaves very light colored.
