A birch tree beauty.......


I owned a property in Minnesota and dug this  birch tree out of the ditch along the road.  It is standing tall and probably is 28 years old now.  Every ten years they cleared those ditches so it really is a rescued birch.

That's very pretty and a great story. We are still iced in our driveway (since Sunday) - I am looking forward to Spring.

Beautiful rescued birch tree and the house too.
We have six birch trees my husband planted in about 1982 or 83. They are very tall now and when they are losing their leaves, he has a lot of cleaning to do outside.

Lovely picture. I'ts great to hear of trees being saved rather than cut down.

I like the idea of you travelling around rescuing birch trees.

Wonderfull picture. I "rescued" several myself and they now grow in my yard.

Birch trees are my most favorite. I'm glad you rescued this one!

 The miniature daffodils are so petite compared to the normal sized daffodil. I don't think I have ever brought the small ones inside be...
