Life is a wonderful thing
last modified: Monday, June 11, 2007 (2:04:55 PM)
About 6+ years ago, I planted an apricot tree in my backyard. Sadly the first year it died.

I never dug it up. Years went by, and it never got one leaf.

Then..this year...I go outside(its hiding in a corner and isnt visible) and Theres a tree there.

Seemingly sprouted overnight. (must have been totoro!)

And so as the weeks went by it grew and grew. Now over 10 feet high. And it has fruit.

Well i watched it grow and grow. and then the fruit was ready.

Come to find out, it wasnt apricots on the tree.

It was plums.

There is a very old plum tree next it. And somehow that tree must have brought this one back to life.

The original apricot tree is melded with the new plum trees growing around it.

Creating a hybrid Apricot plum.

It just amazes me how a tree can bring another tree back to life.

Now its got cute little tyedye apricot plums. Orange and purple.


I just thought i would share with all of you how life can be renewed unexpectedly.

I agree; some pictures of your special tree would be grand. Regardless, thank you for sharing that neat story.
