more adventures with trees
2003-04-22 - 4:39 p.m.
Just in case the last entry left the impression that we're mad, tree-killing
maniacs at Peachfront's house, I'll post a few pictures of trees we've
planted.
Above is a pecan tree sprouted from a nut from a neighbor's pecan tree in
Kenner, Louisiana. Trees grown from seed instead of from
clones don't breed true. We assume that it will never give
nuts, which is fine, because we have a small front yard and don't
need a huge tree dropping stuff everywhere. It does have to
be cut back somewhat aggressively to keep it dwarfed. It will be 13 years old in the fall.
The satsuma flowers have finished, and the baby satsumas are
starting to form on our backyard satsuma tree, which is
several years old. I always thought of satsuma as a sort of
tangerine with its zippery peel, but it may actually be
a kind of mandarin orange.
We planted this pine tree when it was a little $4 tree
from a nursery in Folsom. Whoa! Look at it now. There
was a second tree planted at the same time, which was brought down
several years ago in a tornado, but miraculously didn't fall on
the cars or the house.
Bonus: I've been watching with amazement that the mums, planted last fall for some Halloween color, have returned and obviously plan to burst out in full bloom. I thought they were supposed to be annuals, and we did have a freeze in January. But I'm certainly not going to argue with it.
