white peach tree

A friend had given me a small potted white peach tree before she left town in August. I watered the fledgling tree on occasion, but I knew that it really belonged in the ground. As the months passed, the tree lost many of its leaves and the ones tat remained were droopy. By the end of October, I felt so sorry for the tree and I began to worry that it would die under my care. I dug a hole in the ground and planted the tree. It was very satisfying. Given how much carbon I use, the least I could do was plant a tree. Keeping my fingers crossed, I hoped the tree would recover.
