I like trees. Keep planting them. We're losing ash trees here in Michigan. The Ash Borer is causing them to be cut down.
I had planted a funny looking twisted evergreen in 1984. It was about a foot tall. I dug it up out in the Manistee National Forest about a half mile from us. I transplanted it a couple times around the yard, eventually out by the road. Unfortunately, it got so tall, about 25 feet, it got up in the power lines. I wish I had a photo of it. It was really weird looking. I had to finally cut it down.
