[IBC] a little venting
Hi everyone,
Pardon my venting, but I had to tell some people who can really understand. I came home from work last night (after a particularly lousy week too) only to find my best tree, a beautiful Chinese Elm, sitting in the kitchen sink...sans pot. It had been significantly damaged. This is the first tree that I've ever been able to keep alive for a significant length of time. And it had been thriving. I was so excited to see it begin to come to leaf this spring. It didn't take much examination and a pathetic look on my dogs' faces to figure out what had happened. I had just put the tree back in its usual spot from its wintering spot a few days earlier. The temps have gotten so much better, I was letting my tree get some sun. Well, it got more than just sun. I repotted the tree, but it looks just awful. There was really bad damage to the tree limbs and roots. Apparently it made quite a chew toy for the dogs. It's funny (sad really) they've never show even the slighted interest in any of my trees, plants or flowers in the past. Have any of you ever brought back a tree after serious animal-inflicted damage? thanks for listening, Lisa Miller Westmnster, MD zone 6/7 __________________________________________________ _______________ Learn how to help protect your privacy and prevent fraud online at Tech Hacks & Scams. http://special.msn.com/msnbc/techsafety.armx ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Ken Rutledge++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
