This is my Water Maple. Maples have thin bark and need a moist environment to survive. Whenever a storm arises, Water Maple drops limbs wholesale. 15 years ago, a thunderstorm downed most of the tree, taking my carport, blocking the street. I thought it was gone, but it came back. I almost didn’t survive 6 years ago, so Water Maple and I are survivors. Yes, we meditate together. Life is precious.
