Hi Nancy!

Yes, there are some fast-growing trees.  When the maple tree died one of
the considerations was replacing with two trees: one a sturdy hardwood 
which would take ages to grow and the other a fast-growing softwood to 
substitute for a while and then be removed.  Problem was not enough room
for two trees to properly grow. the fast-growing tree still isn't fast 
enough growing.  Ended up nothing replaced, even though I semi-sneakily 
allowed some of the seedlings to remain when I was weeding.  They got
plucked.  (There's an area of shrubs, ground cover, some flowers, etc., 
in the section as around the tree the grass didn't grow all that well.)

 BM>>>> That seems proof enough carrots are bad for you!!
 NB>>>> Faulty reasoning, just like one might do with the below.... ;)
 NB>>>> ... 100% of people who breathe die.
 BM>>> Stop breathing and save yourself!!
 NB>>> But when one stops breathing one does die...  ;)
 BM>> Use a respirator?
 NB>> That only works for a while.... eventually one still dies...
 BM>> As do all things.
 NB>> Yup.
 BM> Death is a requirement but preferable to think for living.
 NB> After all, living is where one can think... ;)

As long as one also does. :)
