Trees and shrubs, finally - Josh

Move dirt to where it goes, then plant trees... The dirt was finally moved.
After a day at the U of I arboretum scoping trees that do well in the Palouse, and a half day of browsing Moscow Building Supply and other nurseries, we settled on a number of trees and shrubs. We wanted edibles, but given that bees turn pollen to honey, and shade makes grass grow better, we went with a mix of large, fast growing trees and edible shrubs (with lilacs for beauty and fragrance).
Trees:  Skyline Honeylocus;  Autumn Blaze Maple;  Tulip Tree;  2x Sweetheart (dwarf) cherry;  Manregion English Walnut;
Shrubs:  Wepster Hazelnut; 2x Theta Hazelnut; Jefferson Hazelnut; McDonald Hazelnut; Spring Flurry Serviceberry;  Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry;  Bloomerang (dark purple thrice blooming) Lilac 
The shade trees all grew at least 4ft/yr, and the Walnut is an edible. Tree selection is far from easy or cheap. It took probably a week of labor between scouting, shopping, and planting, and we rented an E20 to do the digging, and we had manure on hand!
