Dream Big

Do you remember the maple seedling I stuck in a pot on my patio a few years ago? Because the pot was there and the seedling was there and I wanted to see if I could grow a tree on my patio?

Guess what? I can.

I checked it today and it has leaves on most of the branches. I checked it an hour later and the number of leaves had doubled. I'm really surprised it survived another Indiana winter. This one was short but record setting cold and my little tree is still thriving.

When does a seedling become a sapling? A sapling, a tree?

How big does a maple tree have to be before you can tap it for maple syrup?
