A Free Tree

Would you take a free tree by the side of the road?
Well I did!
I wasn't sure that it would live, but it did and is thriving.
Last summer, in August, our neighbor was digging up this tree from his front yard and putting an oak tree in its place. It had a big FREE on it and was beside the road, It looked like it had been there for a day but I went home and got the truck and told Dusty I needed his help.
He about died when I drove up to the tree, He said this will never make it.
Last summer it was really hot and dry here.
But
I talked him into helping me take it home.
I Knew it had to be at least 3-4 years old.
So....we dug a hole and filled it full of water and then put the tree in.

It looked like this the first day but the day after that most of the leaves fell off but I kept watering it all summer.
because it still had some leaves left on it.

This is what it looks like today!

Beautiful!
