Last fall, Chad bought these trees from the Arbor foundation. A big box of dormant, packed twiggs arrived sometime during the winter. He finally got around to planting them late in the spring and not very many survived. There was this one twig, I'm not sure what kind of tree it was, but anyway, it died. Then all of a sudden, a little sprout was coming up out of the ground right next to the dead tree. At first I thought it was a tree, but as it grew taller, I now think it's a weed. Chad is convinced it's a tree, but I know it is a weed. The trunk ins't "wood", it's like a plant stalk.
We fight about it all the time and I told him I would humor him, and keep watering it. It has really grown tall. He tells me that when it grows 20 feet, I am not allowed to sit in the shade from his "tree". Tonight, when we were fighting about it, we decided to put a poll up and see what everyone else thinks this is. So check out the pictures and then tell us what you think Chad's weed-tree really is.
It's a tree Trudi...get over it.
ReplyDeleteMarvin says it's a tree.
ReplyDeleteMarvin, Marvin, Marvin, what in the heck are you thinking? You and Chad are going to look pretty funny picnicing by your weed-tree.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mom but its not ugly enough to be a weed. I'm not saying its definatly a tree but in my oppinion its not a weed. If it turns out to be a weed dig it up by the roots and I'll plant it in my yard -K-. Also those hairy trees I have start to grow on a plant like stalk.
ReplyDeleteTiff - they do look similar to your tree's. But these do not have that hairy stuff. Also, I looked at the stalks of yours, they are not the same. Thats why I took so many pictures, you'll see when I post the pictures side by side. Dads starting to do the "I told you so" dance. :(
