I’m an Arborist

Ok… I started a new tree section on the website, “Arborist”. I decided to document and photograph all the trees that I’m planting and trying to raise. It will be a continuation of the tree growth so it’s not going to be extremely exciting or anything. But I will take photos of the seeds, where they came from, when I planted them, when they sprout, where I chose to plant them and then a yearly update of their progress.

You can only imagine how exciting it is to grow trees. You have to be extremely patient and be prepared for disappointment after watching a tree grow from seed and overnight freeze in a cold spell and there is nothing you can do.

I’m here is sunny Florida, so if anyone is out there who wants to send me a few seeds to grow and follow their progress let me know. If you’d like me to gather some home grown seeds and send them to you let me know. It’s amazing how you can take seeds from India and ship them to me and I’ll grow the seed here in the U.S. We used to have birds do the work for us, now we have the USPS to do it for them. Unfortunately some trees are so invasive that they kill out native trees, like Mimosa and Chinese Tallow (popcorn trees), and those damn ficus trees…KILL THEM ALL!

Please send me seeds of any unique trees you may have… email me for my address.
