Introducing "Baby Maple". She was born from a seed, not a root, so she is a viable tree. She now lives in her own pot and is being carefully tended.

This last photo is a picture of her papa's limb. It shows how very sick
her papa was and as sad as it was - it was clear that he deserved to cross the Bridge and bring blessed shade to all who reside across the Bridge.

Welcome to PT Baby Maple. :D I hope you grow tall & strong like your Papa.

Oh how cute!

Welcome to PT baby maple!!

:D

Sure hope Baby Maple is being raised as a HOUSE-seedling rather than a Yard-tree ...
Nut-Rats might be tempted to Tree-Nap her.

Have you considered some Fertilizer?
Speedie-Grow might help produce some shade before the turn of the Century.
:p

Daddy-Maple will be so proud!
:D

Awwwe Gini, she's a teeny Baby Maple now, but I'm sure she'll grow up to be a fine reminder of her Papa!!!

Thank You for sharing !! :o

What a fine looking Maple she is too!!! :D

I'm glad she doesn't live where she will have to deal with snow and icky cold weather!!! Live long and prosper Baby Maple!!!

I'm sure she is so proud that her Daddy is now giving the Rainbow bridge birdies a place to sit as they sing and providing shade for others. I hear there are some great picnics going on in his shade!!! ;)

Oh, she is beautiful, *wipes away a happy tear*. I am sure she will make Papa Maple very proud. I will be looking forward to watching her grow big and strong.

Gini she is a beautiful little Baby Maple :) When you do bring her inside (for the night, when it's stormy or whenever) you might prop a picture of her Daddy next to her for inspiration!! ... and what an inspiration he was, for many of us.

Oh how exciting! A lovely new PT baby. :D
Grow up big and strong, baby Maple!

I am not sure what to do about bringing her into the house. I wonder if she wouldn't be better off in her natural habitat.

She also is deciduous - so I will probably get hysterical when she loses her leaves - thinking I have killed her!

Oh, what a beauty!

Gini - if there is a tree farm around your area, call them...maybe even the tree inspector who said Dad Maple had to go to the Bridge.

How WONDERFUL you get to raise the offspring! This is a KEEPER, not fostering! :)

Do you feel any better having the baby tree?

I don't think it's very nice to announce another woman's vices. :eek:

Yes, but Richard - when you consider she could have been a CONIFER...well, enough said! :eek:

When I first glanced at this, I thought it said.......delicious....... Oops!

I'm so glad that you have a new baby to raise. With the tender loving care she's going to receive, she'll be all "growed" up in no time.

Hmmm, we need to find a name for her or are you just going to call her Maple???

Congrats!:)
