Day 62: March 14, 2009

New pinecone! A sign that spring must be near. This is on our Scotch pine that is supposed to be an extremely slow grower (the tag said it'd take 20 years to reach it's full height of 15-20 feet). Apparently we planted it in ideal conditions because it's now 15 feet high in just 8 years. Our maple tree (in the previous post) was also a slow grower but has grown taller than our 2 story house in about 8 years. On the other hand, most of our supposed fast growing trees are not growing so quick like.
