LOL, yep, many of us fall into that category... I took out several American Plum seedlings myself.... Dang things become invisible in tall grass...BigAl said:I failed to mention, I lost one due to some idiot backing over it and mowing it down with the tractor/finish mower. They're not very "mower" tolerant either.
The idiot would be me.
