Planted this Marmo maple about 25 years ago as a young cub at the local Barnes & Noble. Despite living in a strip mall parking lot and being haphazardly cared for, it’s doing very well! #trees #marmomaple #acerfreemanii #treeplanting #toughtrees https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYHR4qu0ld/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
