Meet “Hope”

[Cajunrider]

Yesterday I found “Hope”. She was laid down by hurricane flood and wind and piled on top with a lot of debris since last year two hurricanes. She is still clinging to life. I have washed the salt off the roots and chopped the dead trunk. Now let’s hope.

Nice! I like rescue trees!

What exactly IS she? Which Acer?

Looks great. And you know she’s resilient.

Acer rubrum planted in the yard of my lake house.

Nice! Those are aggressive and fun to work with.
