All is fine - don\'t the rest of us?

But we need the same information you used when you filled out your brackets. Does your team have a big center (height)? Favorite team colors? Etc.?

I would put none of your three choices in the shade tree category - that is usually reserved for trees expected to minimally meet the 50\' threshold, if not 75\'. You may not require that level to shade a one-story home, I understand that.

Without being able to parallel your judgment, this becomes a \"favorite\" tree discussion - which isn\'t bad, but often not helpful.

What the heck made you leave out perennial Final Four favorite Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea)? Got something against the Big Blue?
