   A fine thought, jackplane.  Wonder if I can find an Acer curlyonicus at the nursery.  No?  Sheesh.

   How about planting an Arborvitae ?  Get two things done at once ;-)   Kidding aside, I plant a fruit tree with the Grandchildrens help.  So far 3 Apples, 2 types of cherries, 2 pears, and a row of Elderberry if you want to call them a tree  Blueberries are a bush right, got them too. Only they get the berries and cherries  before I do.

   Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

   You could also make a donation to The National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410. They will usually give you a few seedlings when you do that.

   Hi cadiddlehopper,

   Unfortunately where I live (upperfrost patch in New Hampshire) the ground hasn't thawed enough to plant yet.  But I always make a donation each year and by the time the seedlings get here, the ground is ready and I can plant them.

   So far I have 22 thriving trees from their seedlings over the years and always look forward to more.  Great post and thanks to jackplane for reminding everyone.

   Regards,

   Bob @ Kidderville Acres

   The season doesn't matter. The NADF ships at a time appropriate for your part of the country. Not to worry.Cadiddlehopper
