Wow, I am learning more all the time about my little tree! I am keeping it trimmed as it is pretty close to the house. It is lovely... I did not know all the historical anecdotes about the American heritage of it. Very interesting and good for trivia contests.. Maybe someone should or could come up with a gardening version of Trivial Pursuit? Anyone got the energy?
