WhatEVER you do you will need to protect any green house from high winds. Dunno if your back yard is fenced in, but mine isn't and we get severe winds sometimes that would rip apart any greenhouse. Just something to consider. I think we gardeners ALL want a greenhouse...like I want an indoor riding arena.
Hahahahahahaha! No fences here. Right now it's just a pipe dream.

Here go 5 feet into any wooded area and you will find burning bush.

Yeah the birds eat the berries and then poop them and spread them like wildfire. They have no natural enemies in nature and therefore flourish anywhere usually at the demise of native plants. Whoever thought they'd be a great landscaping plants didn't do research before they installed them. I have a giant one in my backyard that was here when I moved in. Before I found out how invasive they were I tried saving it from the honeysuckle. Now I just kind of hope they both kill each other out! My woods are full of seedlings

Lowes had end of season 75 off potted trees, some how I fit 10 crab apple in my car. I never thought about getting them home just how cheap they where. Luckly I had a pair of pruners and cut some down much shorter. Nothing is prettier then a crab apple in bloom

That is so true! They do sucker something fierce though. But the effort keeping the suckers and check is totally worth the work. I find that they're not very long lived trees usually 20 to 30 years. I guess that's enough time to enjoy their presence.

You know you're a plant person when you have pruners in your car!
