I took a side trip to visit my favorite tree. She’s blooming and was also hosting a few potential hazards in the form of unwanted invasive tree seedlings. I haven’t climbed a tree in a while but that didn’t stop me. What I found in her crotch were five w**d trees in a thick pile of organic matter. An accumulation of old flowers and pods. Perfect growing conditions for anything. As I pulled the w**ds and cleared matter away I started finding more seedlings, but they were hers. Dozens of little seeds with roots popping out. It’ll be interesting to see what happens there.
