Duane's Stuff: See that tree, how big it's grown

When we first made our home here, my Sue wanted to plant a tree in OUR memory . . . so we bought one we were told would become a good shade tree, a cottonless cottonwood, and planted it in the middle of our front lawn -- and named her Gertrude . . . I don't seem to have a picture of Gertrude when first planted for some reason, but I do have some when she was about 5 years old.  We then, over the years, planted more -- a total of 10 actually, with 2 not surviving  One of them was in honor of her mother -- a silver leaf maple -- not far from Gertrude. 8 trees live in the front yard now.
