Pears for Your Heirs
Except in Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, Virginia, and
Wyoming, April 26 is celebrated as Arbor Day, a
chance to plant a tree. Remember, “He who plants a
walnut tree expects not to eat of the fruit,” because the
growing time is lengthy, but “the willow will buy a
horse before the oak will pay for a saddle,” because the
willow grows rapidly. As for pruning skills, “short
boughs, long vintage,” or “make the vine
poor, and it will make you rich.” The
ancients believed that the world was bom
of a great tree, the Universe Tree or
Mundane Tree. Closely related were the
Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life.
He that plants a tree plants for
▼W' posterity.
gar “If an oak bo set near unto a walnut tree it will not live.”
