Hope.....

This young Acer Maple sapling had been thrown in a recycling bin. I was fortunate enough to watch our neighbour do it. So I trotted down, asked to save it and here my friends is the proof. 
The tree was to all intents and purposes dead, bereft of life, fallen off it's perch. By placing it alongside our mature Acer it has suddenly budded and flung out a leaf, as if to say "Yah sucks boo!" to those who would have turned it into compost. When it is safe it will be returned to the owner and hopefully this time they will listen about plant placement.
