So. Many. Trees. It’s overwhelming. I don’t think there’s
ever been this many trees in one spot in Appleton before. I don’t even know
what to do. There are so many.
I can’t give a decent estimate as to how many there are,
because I didn’t see them all. The trees are pretty tall, maybe a bit over six
or so feet on average. There’s pear
trees, apple trees, peach trees, cherry trees, gooseberry bushes, raspberries,
buffalo berries (I have no idea what those are), nantuk cherries (they’re a
bush?), frostberries, (whatever those are) and grapes that had really long
roots.
Folks at Riverview have spent all day digging holes for
them, and making mounds of wet woodchips in the garage to store the ones that
can’t get planted yet. It’s going to take a lot of man hours. Luckily, there’s
a big group coming out this weekend from Appleton North High School. Kudos to
them!
It’s actually very exciting, now is a great time to come to
Riverview. It’s pretty reliably over 40
degrees, the mud honestly isn’t that bad, there’s stuff to do besides painting
walls, and, yup, there’s trees everywhere!
