Huh, u need to comment to post a pic now?

Toronado, that picture deserves a comment. Please state what you have there. I see some young trees that are doing well and ready to make their presence known. :)

Is that a Metasequoia by any chance (next to the mower)?

Lets see, left to right in the yard, a smaller Metaseuqoia, Nyssa Sylvatica wildfire, Carpinus carolina (vase shaped for those with sharp eyes), a generic Acer rubrum (a free Arbor Day tree), in the far back right you MAY be able to see a Lagerstroemia idica which hasn't leafed out yet, the "big" Metasequoia to the right of the mower and an Ostrya virginiana.
