Last fall, Chad bought these trees from the Arbor foundation. A big box of dormant, packed twiggs arrived sometime during the winter. He finally got around to planting them late in the spring and not very many survived. There was this one twig, I'm not sure what kind of tree it was, but anyway, it died. Then all of a sudden, a little sprout was coming up out of the ground right next to the dead tree. At first I thought it was a tree, but as it grew taller, I now think it's a weed. Chad is convinced it's a tree, but I know it is a weed. The trunk ins't "wood", it's like a plant stalk.
We fight about it all the time and I told him I would humor him, and keep watering it. It has really grown tall. He tells me that when it grows 20 feet, I am not allowed to sit in the shade from his "tree". Tonight, when we were fighting about it, we decided to put a poll up and see what everyone else thinks this is. So check out the pictures and then tell us what you think Chad's weed-tree really is.
