    Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.

    That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.




  • Good for you. Where I live, there is still no cell service, (got to be in a town for that), and the US Postal Service will not deliver mail to my home, (I need to pay $165 a year to get a postal box in town to get my mail and I need to drive to get it). I do have internet most of the time, but that and the electricity can be sketchy in a storm, the hazards of living in a forest. So if I can’t access that, Oh well, been there before. And I have lived many years without it. Like I said, we will just do without. Oh, and the nearest Walmart is in another country, Canada. I need an enhanced driver’s license or passport to shop there. So I ain’t missing much there either. The nearest hospital, (level 3, the “barely a hospital” level) is 50 miles away and the nearest ambulance is 20 miles away-- you have a heart attack, you will probably die before help gets there.

    There is wannabe rural like you and then there is rural.
