This mass of trees may look similar to an apple tree but it is actually a combination of an older buckthorn tree and many invasive prickly ash trees. In the middle of this mass, I discovered a thin tree that looked quite similar at the base to the buckthorn and at a higher level to the ash trees; however, I visually traced one of the tree’s higher limbs and noticed apple leaves on it. Somehow, this miraculous apple tree continued to grow strangled by the other trees. Today, I discovered this little apple tree buried in the entanglement as some of the neighbouring invasive trees were removed around a different apple tree known as Happiness. This much younger tree that still needs to be rescued is clearly a survivor. I have decided to name it either Resilience or Hope as it is a testament to the will to live even under the harshest of conditions as well as to the importance of holding onto hope even when things seem their bleakest. After the tree has been rescued, I will post an “after” photo. Help me to name this tree. I’m taking votes: Resilience or Hope? What do you think? Cast your vote in the comments.
