Very few towns do that, probably due to logistics and cost. Not only were you guys able to see the tree when it was planted in, but you were able to see its growth. It must've been awesome for the kids to see how things are set up.<br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/107500689587257457992/about?gl=us&hl=en" rel="nofollow">Jonathan Carroll @ UtilityFleetSales.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111742980579648580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-10944320919922056022014-01-10T20:05:53.382-08:002014-01-10T20:05:53.382-08:00It is a rather startling sight!
