Some years ago, our neighbor planted two citrus trees outside of a small store in the nearby village. We’ve been watching the trees grow over the last few seasons, and this year – wow! They are producing tons of limes! And they also provide very welcome shade for people hanging out on the grass outside the store.
A fruit tree is a beautiful green gift that you can give your neighbor, friend, or even the person who will live in your house after you’re gone. I’m often always impatient when it comes to planting trees… putting a walnut tree into the ground drives me totally nuts. I doubt I’ll ever enjoy eating a walnut off a tree in the Bosque. But someone will. Because the previous owner of the Bosque thought of the future, we have an amazing surplus of fruits in our orchard.
Pass it forward, plant some trees!
