I’m watching one of the best movies with a very very tasty beer

I have a funny story about crispin glover. He’s such a strange person.

I’ve got another bird **** freebie tree. It’s a few years old now. I covered it with a literal ton of soil, and ran it over at least 20 times when rolling my hill for compaction. It just kept coming up. I believed it was a carob tree last year when it was smaller. Today I gave it a little water and potting soil love, and noticed it has a terminating leaf. My research led me to believe carob’s did not have terminating leaves on their branches.

At the end of the season last year I inspected it and it had a very Citrus type smell when crushing the leaves in your hand. I was very intrigued. If it was citrus it would surely die as we see low 20 degree F temps in winter, we are in an elevated no citrus zone, and it’s on a north facing hill behind a fence and doesn’t get sun until after noon.

What say yee?

Well, I kin tellya one thang fer shore: That ain't no citrus tree. And it aint "poisy idy" <--My grandling's term for the itchy-vine.

If they put me up agin the wall for Truth or Die, I would guess it was a carob tree. My second, distant guess: cinnamon tree.

There are several strains of cinnamon trees with slightly different leaves, and will grow straggly like that if left to themselves.
