strange plant?!?
For years I lived in places with no trees, so I was thrilled to move to a home in a forest. When a tree shoot began to grow next to our front path, I was delighted, and I pampered the sapling by fertilizing, watering, and offering tender loving care. Yet it appeared to weaken. I poured out more fertilizer, but it still struggled for life. I was baffled. One evening when my room mate and I arrived home, she yanked the tree out of the ground. Incredulous, I asked, “Why did you do that?” “That stupid tree,” she replied. “I’ve been feeding it weedkiller for weeks and it just wouldn’t die!”
