Re: your tag line

Years and years ago, on our way west to Manila and my brand new job, we stopped to visit my grandfather in East Tennessee. He suggested that he and I should take a walk to see the farm. it had been a while since I had that opportunity.

He led me down and across the little creek to his new orchard. He planted it when he was 89

God Bless Him.

I estimate that I’ve installed between 9,000 - 10,000 trees in my 35yrs of ownership in the nursery/garden center/landscape contracting business, and personally reintroduced 350+ of the Elm Beetle Resistant strain of The American Elm to PA & MD.
