my daughter Beth brought this tree home from school on Arbor Day. It was in a paper cup and was a seedling about 1/2 inch big! We planted this itty bitty tree in the yard and put a small fence around it to protect it from the lawn mower. Over the years it kept growing and now it is about 40 feet tall and still growing! This yard is almost all ledge so this little tree deserves a lot of credit for growing this tall! I always wonder what happened to the other seedlings that Beth's classmates brought home that day...is this the only survivor?? It sits in a corner of my shady garden and always looks beautiful when the snow first falls on it.
