National Arbor Day

[AlpineK]

I know it isn't a super popular holiday with most people, but I thought I'd make note of the day. If you have the space and time go plant a tree.

 

Here's some reading material

 

I planted a mini version of this in my yard. It'll take a fey years to get this big.

 

 

Gymnocladus dioicus

Just planted a Golden Chain. Hopefully, it will look like this someday:

i throw my apple core out of my window every day on the way to work - does that count?

I saw my neighbor, Onan, celebrating the same way casting seed out in fields.

 

Maybe, that was Earth Day.

[ivan]

i wouldn't mind casting my seed on gaia, but onan can go fuck himself!

[Dechristo]

gaia? he's not broadcasting seed willy-nilly.

 

 

mr. fields is his arborist.

Golden chain will do pretty well with minimal care, I expect. We cut a bunch of brush out of our yard, including a gold chain tree that was unable to support itself after we removed all the brush around it, so we took that down too. There were several sprouts the next year - from seed, I think. The golden chain had grown up amid a bunch of laurel and maple mixed with blackberries in a location where I doubt it had any kind of watering or care of any kind ever.

 

I've seen some rather attractive ones around that I bet were heavily pruned as the trunk divided into several and the several divided again, making a complicated lacy looking tree unlike the beanstalk that we had.
