Reply #22: Oh, I love trees! I name mine after loved ones,

when I plant them in their honor. Hugging a tree will make anyone's day, planting one will make the Earth smile. Why do so many people want to cut them down? :-(
I spent part of my childhood in a Eucalyptus tree. Normally, they're a very open tree, but my Grampa's method of pruning - just level it at the top THIRD of the tree - turned it into a dense sweet- smelling lollipop, perfect for hiding from angry relatives. I hear from my cousin that it's still standing, and reacting well to not being pruned within an inch of its life. MUCH bigger.
