I never really thought much about growing trees. I live in the middle of town, and I have a few very large ones in my yard. My landlord threatens to cut them down, but so far she has not done so. Last spring my daughter and I were outside and there was a baby maple tree growing. The lawn had yet to be mowed for the first time, so it had had some times to grow. My daughter thought it was cute, and because we had just planted some flowers, she wanted to try growing trees too. I knew it would not last through the first mowing, so there was no reason why couldnt try to save it.
Using extreme care, I dug around the small tree so that we did not cut the roots. We planted it in a pot and took it inside. I put it where it would get sun, and we watered it when needed. I thought growing trees would not be that hard, but I was proven wrong. The tree did not last very long, and I soon had to throw it out. My daughter was disappointed. It was probably too young to be transplanted, and though I saved it from the lawnmower, it wasnt enough to keep it going strong.
Anyone who wants to try growing trees might have more success than I did, but the best bet might be to go to a nursery to get trees that are well on their way. Trees are important to our environment, and they make any lawn or garden a nice place to be. They dont offer much in the way of shade when they are young, but the will grow to be quite beautiful. Some day when I own my own property I will try growing trees again, but I think Ill get them from the nursery, just to be sure they have a better chance of making it.
