So, after "constructing" experimental trees by various and sundry means, I decided to plant a few on Mill Hill. I was suspecting that I would need a number more, but it doesn't look like it now. Maybe one or two conifers. . . .
The tree at the far left is the "wire" tree -- a bit larger than I had imagined but it looks pretty good. The other trees were mostly from "weeds" and one is so lopsided it needed clothespins to hold it up until the glue dried. I just hope it will stand without the clothespins at some point!
Maybe the tree lying across the road at the left and the conifers in the upper right of the photo will be enough to complete the Mill Hill forest. And, of course, some debris under the trees is needed. Gotta save something for the grandchildren to add!
