Way back in the early 70’s, my late grandfather planted 4 mimosa trees. We played on them as kids, climbing them etc.
When my grandmother decided to sell her house some years ago, my father dig up a seedling from those trees, and brought it back to my parents home. My mother never planted it in the ground and it grew through the plastic pot.
The other day she came home and found that the weather had knocked it over. It’s now cut down and sitting at the side of the road for pickup.
A week or two before it fell down, she had brought me some seed pods. Of the seed pods I had 10 fully developed seeds, and of those 10 only 2 sprouted.
It’s probably a bit dumb, but because these trees have been in the family for 40 years I feel the utmost importance to keep these going. My mom is going to get more seed pods for me to grow so that we can get some trees planted at the family farm: land which has also been in the family for a hundred years or more.
