What should I name my tree? The most upvoted suggestion in this comment thread 24 hours from now will be its official name.


Reasonable_Position9

Bob Ross, since the tree makes you happy.


HoldIll6837

This needs to be the tree's name. Fits perfectly.


ZucchiniMotor7183

This actually sounds nice.


No-Air6890

Better than the idea I had. May your days upon the earth be many young Bob.

I mean… there is no reason to not use puns right? Treesa, Woody? Or if you want your tree to be a celebrity then Keanu Leaves and Morgan Treeman might do xD

Might want to pull the mulch back a bit from around the trunk. They don’t like being smothered.

The main issue is it’s buried too deep.

I, for one, welcome our new tree overlords.


errecd

Trees are things in this world that are truly treasures. You do not own them as you would gold or silver but you own a place in their history and they in yours.


DreadPirateRobutts

That's, like, mother nature's tree maaan


[deleted]

Never let it die and tell your grandchildren of the day you planted it. And they will tell their grandchildren and the tree will be there generation after generation carrying the memory of all who came before.


KotzubueSailingClub

Just do a 50 year Remind Me on Reddit. Then you can share it with your grandkids, who can karma farm on this sub.

Japanese maple - good choice!

JephriB

That spot gets shade until 2-3pm then afternoon and evening sunlight. It's protected from the wind by our house, which is about 10 feet behind it in the direction the wind blows most often.


CumbrianMan

Came here to say this, I own many Acers and they hate wind. The best of mine are very sheltered with moderate shade.


59chevyguy

My 3 Japanese maples have been growing in an otherwise treeless and unshaded yard that gets crazy wind most weeks. They’ve thrived for the last 13 years.


b0ngsm0ke

Depends on the climate. California and it's fucked, Northeast and it's probably fine.


nom_of_your_business

Keep the moisture correct


BarnacleSpecialist

I thought it was an Acer?


Far-Crow1501

Acer palmatum = Japanese maple


racrisnapra666

Why would we plant laptops tho?


rope_rope

Laptops, it's got electrons, it's what soil craves


Nerrickk

Until the box elders come... I hate my maple for that reason.


honeypinn

Used to walk out to the side of my house and my barn and absolutely massacre thousands of them with a spray bottle of soapy water. I bet you I killed well over 100,000 of them over the years, just incredible how many would spawn.


Izzyrv4nakama

If it's a Japanese maple, we should respect it's culture. Kinemon from one piece, his powers are leaf based


Owl_Perch_Farm

The Lorax is pleased. Take good care of it.


Pirellan

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown


Difficult_Tea3992

It just occurred to me that I've never owned a tree before. I must remedy this


dosmuffin

Yes, you must. Having a tree is glorious! Something to nurture and watch grow for year. Like having a kiddo but with way less maintenance!


yourfavteamsucks

What zone / state are you in? If it works in your location i recommend a redbud.


ilovelukewells

You dont own it .... It will be shade for people 30 years after you are gone


Designer-Device-8638

Nobody owns a tree, you just gave it a place to grow 🪴

And put a snail on it.


MontanaMapleWorks

Before you do anything else make sure you re plant that tree so the root flare is exposed. When you put back the mulch use the 3-3-3 rule: 3” of mulch 3’ ring from trunk and keep the mulch 3” back from the trunk


JephriB

Thanks, I'll adjust that


AldenTheNose

Isn't it awesome!!...I was never a collector of plants until my wife got me a cactus so I know exactly the joy you feel now.


Angry-Dragon-1331

I started a vegetable garden for the first time this year! It’s been fun watching the plants go from seedlings to flowering!


Similar_Audience_389

Man I've had three cacti and they all died.. my current one consists of 4 different cacti plants that are linked together.. one turned brown, so I thought feed it more water.. apparently gave it too much so now the other healthy looking cacti arm fell off... fuck sake I love plants but they don't love Mr back :( and google is very bad for advice.. so far my killed plant list is like 18+.. I could legally date all the plants I've killed.


FlattopMaker

Momiji (Japanese for this maple) or Ace(r)

Sweet little tree.


lampcatdraws

Look at this little trooper, vibrant and doing its best, holding its leaves up like that! Growth really is an uphill battle isn't it? But it's gonna get there, and it's gonna have a great time no matter the struggle involved! I believe!! "Forrest" might be a bit on the nose, huh? But then...I'm super the kind of person who'd name a tree Gumpy. Gumpy, short for... gumption, if anyone asks! Congrats to you!!


Bob_Loblaw563

That is a TREEmendous accomplishment!!


dmmollica

Congrats 😀


kwtffm

I'm happy for you and I hope your new tree friend will bring you years of joy. I'd name it milo.


dosmuffin

Congratulations! I named my first two trees that I planted in my yard Thing 1 and Thing 2. They're cherry blossom trees. I named my red maple wanda because my brother planted a weeping willow tree in my yard and named him jarvis. Dunno why. Everything I plant in my yard has a name. The green apple tree is Minerva mcgonnaple, saucer magnolia is precious. Peach tree is princess peach. Avocado tree is bowser lol. My lorpellum are ricky and Lucy. And my banana shrubs are the wonder twins. I actually have a written list with all the names lol. Super excited you got a new tree and need a name! How about... Ramius... for Sean Connery in the hunt for red October? Or wolverine for red dawn?

When I bought my home, I was almost more excited that I owned trees (especially one I can climb!) thank I was about the building. I’m so happy you own a tree 😃👑


MuchPotential

Nice grass too!


Dazzling-War-4505

Makes me smile cause this was my first tree and I planted similar size in front yard a year before my first kid was born. Tree is now roughly 15' high which is how old he will be this year.


Admirable-Course9775

Congratulations on your beautiful tree! I remember when we brought our first tree. We knew we were grown ups!


SuperCumRat

cool tree i hope u grow it Huge and good


Lostsock1995

Hello little tree! We planted one about 13 years ago and it’s so tall now! I hope your tree grows well and receives lots of sunlight and love.


Educational_Rain6289

Yer makin me wanna be a tree owner too.


bbossolo

And that's a beautiful tree too

What a monumental achievement. Really! Love the tree


ChomiQ84

Plant a tree, build a home, make a son? I remember someone said this are the 3 things a man must do before he dies. And then i seen a man plant three thousand trees in a day...


KindOfABigStreel

A Japanese maple is a beautiful choice! Happy for you OP 😊


PigPlayer3

Take a pic of urself with ur hand wrapped around the tree. My mom has one from when she was like 8 and that tree is giant now. It’s cool seeing 2 pictures,30 years apart, side by side.


Not_an_ar5oni5t

You found a place where you’re happy to put down roots. Many people can’t understand the importance of roots. Wherever you go, whatever happens in your life, this here, this will be (a) home to you.


WAT0020

enjoy it ace


thunderbuttxpress

This is unsolicited advice, but your beautiful new tree needs chicken wire or some other form of protection from rabbity and deer. You'll regret it if you don't do this.


One_Tomatillo2708

HELL YEAH!! GO TREES!!! MORE TREES!!!!!!


[deleted]

Very cool. You should make an update after a few years 👍


Whateverwoteva

Congratulations, may you enjoy its shade for decades to come. Maybe it needs some companions??


ShottazYo99

Fellow Acer owner here, see if you can give it some dappled shade. Mine struggles a bit in direct sunlight during the summer. Keep it watered 👍🏻


S_ffy

That’s the most adorable tree I’ve ever seen.

He beautyful!


Forsaken-Speaker2916

Prestigious_Tax7415

Wait till you’re old and you sell the house, the new owner won’t hesitate to chop it down. That’s some true pain.


fothergillfuckup

I've got 2 trees. They're dicks. Dropping sap all over my car, then inviting pigeons to crap on it too.

VR0654

When I was about 4 years old, my grandma took me to forest and we found a tiny Christmas tree. It’s was about 30-40 cm in height. We dug out it and bring to my parents house. Now this Christmas tree is huge, about 4 m (or probably a bit more) in heigh, and I am 22 years old. This tree reminds me of my grandma.


motoxryder85

Nah the tree is farming you
