The Caesarean Artic Willow


The story goes that Julius Caesar was assassinated because his political aspirations and ambitions made his peers very uncomfortable.  As it turns out, sometimes plants can be like Roman emperors.  We have a couple of arctic willows, including this one on our north side lawn.  This one, in particular, has an apparent lust for conquest; it seems as though this shrub wants to take over the world.  Today, however, lest it achieve it's tyrannical objective, I had to cut it back to a diameter that could be measured in feet and not acres or kilometers.

"Et tu B?"
Believe it Baby! 



This process only needs to be repeated once every 2-3 days (or at least that's what it feels like.)  B
