Great response. Very informative and right on. Thanks very much. We have one as well. A male and love the tree. And, relatively slow growing.
And, TOTV might consider having a category each month of “best, most helpful, informative response” — yours would be at the top of the list. TOTV at its best.[/QUOTE]
My Sylvester is unsure about it identity. Is it something it will decide on it's own, or should I cut off any identifiers now?
