And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Everyone needs something like this in their backyard. Or two. Or three.
Too old, past their time as fruit bearers. I live on a property that was a farm, in colonial times, the only trees still bearing fruit are walnut trees. The apples and pears no longer do. Occasionally a small hard fruit that not even the birds will eat.
The Bucks that frequent my place wish that tree was here. We have fruit trees, but they tend to clean them out rather quickly. They'd like that old bonus tree.
I live in a typical older suburban house in a suburb of Kansas City. I have four apple trees that produce hundreds of apples every year. Thanks to the deer, squirrels, raccoons, and birds, I usually get ZERO apples.
Also, to the person above to said they stop bearing fruit, please be aware that unless you paid to have a 'seedless' variety planted, every dropped fruit has 8 viable seeds, and as long as Monsanto isn't involved, they're free.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI have several very similar, other than the fact that they NEVER have produced any fruit.

ReplyDeleteIf you don't like wasps, don't sign up for this.
