Trees are Us

Dad says I have to plant at least one tree per year. He started me off by planting  this Wild Pear (Dombeya rofundifolia). It will grow to about five meters and have lots of pretty white flowers in the spring. The bark can even be used for heart and stomach complaints. Dad believes trees are the most important thing in the world and without them life will not survive. I can see I still have so much to learn. I already know that I can spend hours lying on the grass outside just staring up at the trees moving with the wind. I am so lucky I don’t live in a concrete jungle.
