WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Sometimes it can be so frustrating to keep trees alive and vigorous, no matter how careful we are. Other times, trees seem to stay alive despite gross negligence. This eastern redcedar tree–growing on private property near my house–refuses to die, despite this cable wrapped around its neck for decades. Its crown or needles remain green and are just beginning to show signs of decline. Amazing.
May the Forest Be with You,
