The Tiny Tree That Triumphed!

What a miracle! About a month ago, I was talking to our neighbor about what kind of tree to plant in the corner of our front yard. She is a landscape expert and suggested different trees. In the course of the conversation, she showed me an amazing new tree that she planted in her back yard.

As I looked off to the left of the tree, I noticed a beautiful aspen fir tree about six feet tall. I asked, "Where can I find a tree like that?" She said that she was thinking about digging it up because it was too crowded in that space and offered to give it to me if I wanted to transplant it!

My son and I dug a large hole in our front yard and then began to dig the tree out. It had been growing for the past eight years and had a massive root system. I contacted another neighbor to help us. He suggested that I use a crow bar.

Another neighbor had loaned us a huge bar to help us did the hole. Wahlah! We pried and pulled and finally uprooted that tiny tree! My son and I planted it in our front yard.

THE TINY TREE TRIUMPHED! It has been growing for over a month and looks great! It overcame the shock of being uprooted and replanted!

Have you been uprooted and transplanted? Are you in shock? TAKE HEART! You will make it! Think of our little tree.

IF IT CAN MAKE IT, SO CAN YOU!
