Hi Pashang. My poor tree. We built the deck around it. It is about thirty years old. I sit beneath it often. It will never talk to me again I fear. I best give it a hug.

Perfect image Jean, I know because I'm cutting an old tree down at the moment the sap acts like a brake on the blade. Didn't know you could make tea. Good luck. Tom

Good morning Sunshine. I could not believe the amount of that precious liquid I collected. I read that it makes nice woody flavoured tea. Instead I gave those nutrients to my confined to barracks house plants. A little taste of freedom.
