We have a lilac bush in the yard that is 4 years old, yet it is still only about 2 feet tall. <br /><br />Also, we have rabbits, deer and antelope who love to munch on new plants. So fencing is also required to keep things alive. So we are moving slowly and getting things planted around the house. <br /><br />I don't know about the syrup - but if the tree survives maybe it will be a possibility !Welcomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649250344846216105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131709864652410329.post-4114519287321605782010-06-03T15:41:13.367-07:002010-06-03T15:41:13.367-07:00How lovely!

Have you looked into that? I'm sure there's something rugged enough to survive and very little water...ok, not a camel, but stills - it would be interesting to find out...<br /><br />Is this a sugaring maple to get maple syrup from?Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.com
