Tania's Tree Contest ~ 9/26/25
I am called 'the ancient one' among my peers, known for my sweeping limbs, as if they weep. I was taken from the bank of the River Sugen when my tender roots were still quite young. From Nature's arms, I was carefully replanted, nurtured and shaped by the one who cares for me. He's gently pruned my limbs to keep me healthy and taken me outside to absorb morning sunlight. I am proud to be a specimen of Japanese culture, a miniature version of my Asian flora ancestors.
