    I really like the description of your tree. I would suggest to use a brighter picture and make the font size a bit bigger. :)

My tree week three

It has tiny buds that turn into flowers which turn into the dark green leaves. I do not know what type of tree it is yet.

We couldn't cut down any branches and the town paid for getting the leaves removed from our yard since it was historical. There was even a plack on it with the year.

My tree now ge...
