We have a pear tree between the sidewalk & road. It was planted by the builder about 6 years ago. It is a beautiful, healthy tree. It is not level with the ground like all others, but on a bit of a mound (there is also cotton strapping stickng out of the ground).


Any ideas about what kind of flower, ground cover I could plant around it? I don't know if a planter of bricks around it would work, or just a ground cover. (So many people around here have phlox, I'd like something different if possible)
