April 18, 2007 - Martin Brings Home a Tree
Today Martin brought a tree home from school. He said everyone got a tree in his class. He didn’t know what kind it was. sually, the kind of tree would determine where to plant it - how big it may get, its effect on other plants etc. He said there was a note on the tree. The note said it was in honor of Arbor Day and was donated by the Izaak Walton league and if it isn’t planted today, keep the roots wet. No mention of the type of tree on the note. Not wanting to discourage the budding arborist, we found a place for it.
He was sure we could find a place for it on the farm as he remarked “Dad has planted millions of trees.”
