FG,
Plants like to live, sometimes can be hard to kill them, especially when you're trying to.
Glad your little tree seems to be doing OK.
Kenlguy,
Why the hate for Chinese elm? We had one at the house I grew up in and it provided great shade on a good part of the backyard. Of course, no grass under it but that negated the need to mow!
Everyone else, thanks for the input. I love ash trees too, and fruit trees are important too. Have some on order for the retirement place, hope I live long enough to enjoy the fruits of their labors!
Now, please find and post pics.
