Have you ever planted a tree?

ala As a child I remember planting a few mango and berry (Kala jamun)trees in my country place, where space was not a problem at all. After that, only a few years back, I remember planting a banana tree in Orissa, where we have a house. This year, it has some healthy fruit. I just love looking at the plantains. I want to share one thing with you bala. As a child I remember shifting to a new place on my father's transfer. We were supposed to station there for a few months only. My mother cleaned the bunglow, both inside and out perfectly and then planted some saplings. A few days after that we would be leaving the place forever. On being asked, my mother explained the attendants that we should try to leave a place more beautiful than we have found it. In this way we take care of the nature and live a decent life. She's like that. I wish I could imbibe a little from her.

Loads! When we first moved here we planted quite a few fruit trees, and it's nice to see that they are carrying fruit this year. Then when my son was born we planted about 25 more. I have lots of oak and chestnut trees which are ready to be planted out soon too.

Hello balasri, I have planted quite a few saplings/plants/trees in my life time. My elder sister and I maintained a small garden in the courtyard of our house. From flowers, fruits, vegetables to trees just for their cool shadow in the burning summer heat, we both did quite a lot. Our school used to celebrate a plants-day, where we would go in teams to plant different kinds of trees at different sites. We still have a small space in our house (not the original one) dedicated for plants in addition to flower beds.

Yes, I have planted poplar and apple trees. The poplar tree grows really fast and it gives you a wonderful shade.
