About this Tree

This is a #Cherry Tree.

It is a cutting I took from our majestic cherry tree we had growing in our back yard. At first I did not think the cutting would grow, but with the right soil mixture, moisture, and sunlight nature tends to know what to do.

Here is what it looked like a few weeks ago before I transplanted it. Three new white roots had formed exactly at the base of the original cut edge. Perfect!

One day I hope this tree will look close to the level of beauty that the mother tree had that it came from. Our family was very sad to see the lovely tree go, because it provided such wonderful benefits: shade, beautiful pink flowers in spring, deep purple and green leaves, and edible sweet cherries. The tree was just too overgrown, and was leaning out in dangerous directions, and the soil was so muddy that it could no longer hold the tree upright.

As a way of continuing the legacy of that tree, we saved all the wood and leaves.

We spread the chipped mulch across the yard.

We saved the stumps which are now benches for my growing collection of bonsai trees.

And now I have this new tree cutting we can cherrysh for the future.

Please help me to give this tree a new nickname in the comments below. Remember this is a contest worth 1 SBD.

The interaction and idea are very much appreciated. Thank you!

Bonsai!
