Where's Waldo? He's big and green with long arms...
I have to give you credit, dear reader, if you've been keeping up with all these "garden cleanup" posts I've been publishing. I admit, they're usually very boring so today I'm going to make yet another garden cleanup post more of a game.
So, let's play the garden maintenance version of "Where's Waldo?" below.
Here are two pictures of the same Leslieville, Toronto front garden which needed, ahem, a little rehab. There are two specimen landscape trees somewhere.
Can you spot them?

Was it a challenge? Give up?
For several hours, I removed 4 Chinese Elm saplings (can 10 foot tall young weed trees be considered "saplings"?), 2 White mulberry saplings, a very dead ancient juniper, dozens of very mature Dog Strangling vines, Triffid-like burdock, masses of petty spurge and more weeds I forgot about.
Here are the two corresponding "after" pictures.
Yes, it's the same garden.

If you spotted "Waldo", the Weeping Nootka Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula' ) his sidekick, the ubquitous "Bloodgood" Japanese maple in the "before" pictures, you got darn better eyesight than I do!
Here are more of the same, from different angles. I guess I saved this front garden from being a small woodlot in about ten years.
