I have to continually pull up or cut down volunteer trees, this whole area really wants to return to being an oak forest.

I am thinking about getting some fruit trees, but I'm so old I don't know that I would get to enjoy the fruit. I know it takes awhile. Still think that's what I will do, pay it forward at the least.

I love having trees, but my neighbors cut them down to make it easier to mow their postage stamp lawns Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #12

I hear you Marthe48 May 2024 #13
