Has anyone else had a
similar experience?

Many years ago my husband's father brought home a pecan tree from
Mississippi (where he was born) We live in Zone 5 and everyone told
him how impossible it would be...never grow...even if it did grow it
would never produce pecans... Well...he just smiled and nodded...

Now (years later) in Pittsburgh, Indiana there stands a pecan tree
over 30 feet tall.

Carla (...going to plant Wisteria in Indiana...because I just came
back from a trip through Alabama...and it is SO beautiful...)

God, what a great story, Carla!

It is amazing to me to re-visit places from one's youth and realize
that those same trees were once just saplings...BTW, I just happen to
have been born in Bloomington, Indiana! It is actually one of the
most beautiful little towns in all of the Mid-West in
summertime...Blooms everywhere!!!

All the best,
