Not So Free Tree...

 
Well... this is a very interesting development at project house. We got a letter in the mail, a few months ago, announcing a tree incentive program in Center Line.
 
The city would give homeowners a tree, if they attend a one hour class, on tree care, at city hall.
 
We thought, "what the heck", and signed up.
 
I was excited to have a tree planted on the city curbside, and had the perfect bare spot for it.
 
So... we attended the class this week, and we were informed that the tree would only be planted in the front yard, no curbside, 10 ft. from sidewalks, drives, and water and gaslines.
 
Well, this leaves a tiny area on our front lawn, for planting this new Prairie Fire Crabapple tree.
 
And, it will sit among all of the other giant trees that are already in our front yard. Three Honey Locusts and a Sugar Maple.

 
They dropped it off today and the workers will be out tomorrow to plant it.
 
Why do I just know that this story will have more twists and turns before it's over. ???
