One of my prized trees

Few callings higher than growing trees. If my ship ever comes in and the port survives I want to grow trees. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah very nice tree!

I'm guessing that it has been growing wild (no triming) right?

This is what it looks like when trimmed every year /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Of course there are many different ways of trimming trees /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It worked! And that's one nice job on your evergreen. The trees in my pic were supposed to be cut for Christmas, but I never had the time to prune them nor the heart to cut them even if I had. So I guess you could call it a "mature tree" farm.

Couple months ago, I drove by the home I grew up in. The house is really run down, but the HUGE Blue Spruce to the left of the house was big when I was young. My Dad planted that tree about 1945--I have a pic of my step-brother in front of it when he was a kid. The tree and he were about the same height!

Don't know what happened, but there was a twin tree to the right of the house that was planted at the same time. I have pics of my sis and I--almost every birthday--standing in front of the second tree with a birthday cake on a stand in front of us.

Many great memories. RIP, Dad and Mom.

Ron
