    And there she goes again....

    She sighs, "Home again".

    We decided to keep her another Winter and then we will decide what to do with her. She has been a good friend for so so many years....

    Please do whatever it'll take to keep this tree happy and healthy. This tree really is too beautiful to have it's top cut off. Even if you have to construct a new greenhouse for it, please do so somehow!

    However, also plant some saplings of this as well. So that in case something unfortunate were to happen, you'll still have more of this tree.

    We have had this tree since it was about 8 inches tall about 20 years ago. I would like to talk to someone to see what I can do. I am not willing to give it up yet. We have a couple of years yet.

    Hi Barb,..nice to find you were able to put her in the greenhouse,..and as you said you can cope for another few years,..providing she doesn't surprise you by growing beyond being placed in the greenhouse,..however i would begin looking for a good home for her,..say a botanical Gardens or similar as then you could visit and see her progress and not be too upset parting with her after caring all these years,..i could imagine a plaque,.."donated by Barb".

    BTW, she says she is very happy back where she started. It was a nice vacation being outside for the Summer but being home is great. LOL
