While I was at my dad’s this morning, I spotted a random little sprout in the yard, and naturally assumed, “You are absolutely not supposed to be here.” Fully prepared to rip it out thinking it was a baby dogwood… BUT before committing plant murder, I consulted my beloved PictureThis app.
Plot twist: tiny yard intruder was actually a baby Black Cherry tree. 🌳
So obviously instead of yeeting it into oblivion, I’m now bringing this surprise tree child home, potting it up, and entering my new role as foster mother to a future woodland giant. If all goes well, this little guy gets upgraded to the woods next year.
Moral of the story: Sometimes it’s not a weed, sometimes it’s a free tree!! Haha
Anybody else out here rescuing random plants they absolutely did not plan on emotionally investing in?
