Two miles is quite a short distance if they were to plant their tree in the ground.
There was a small hint of the pain of the trimming to stop them from growing. Intriqued, I am.
That paralleled with the thought of the brain damage is great. Does the tree provide anything in return. Long life? Feed the tree, feed the man? Anything to show symbiosis vs. dependability.
I would think there would always be one "Oak" as it seems they are rather fragile and having somebody that could protect them would be rather handy.
