I did not plant it. It was over forty years old and underneath an
electrical line. Grass would be a better substitute, and I would plant
another tree somewhere else when it would not compete with the
electrical lines. When it went down, the electricity was out for five
hours even though the electrical company had trimmed it on a
periodically so there would be not problem.
