Willow's a good choice...you just can't kill a willow...every little piece of you can generate off if the conditions are right.
On the other hand...being a maple...well people be just want'n to tap that sweet nectar come springtime. ~smiles~
Gary oaks grow above and below...a single connected entity beneath it's forest floor.
A little shady...sneaky even...but pretty cool too. ;-)
I like to start small and spread out from there.
~may all hatred cease...let there be peace...in the forest~
