They're free trees, sell them in a few years for $20 each after about $79.80 worth of time and attention - who can call you crazy?
Not to mention the valuable space they will occupy in the greenhouse in that time. :(

Ive got just over 300 trees at the moment but im in a rental which is probably stupidity but i cant help myself. I did have around 400 but between gifts and selling im down to 300 and plan on reducing a lot more. I still cant seem to resist doing the occasional cutting though.
It doesnt hurt to buy the occasional tree when visiting someone like yourself too Neil.
Happy new year.

To quote the parlance of today ... OMG Greg O.M.G
Your story helps people like me manage expectations with our patient partners.

For example, my lovely wife might question my stupidity/addiction/hobby from time to time with a slight frown or something worse

Now, I can always respond along the lines of: ‘Yeah but I could be Greg he’s got 400 of these bad boys to manage.’

Or words to that effect!

Ha!
