# When we bought our house I was so excited to have mature fruit trees…

_Posted by Roundshouse Plants on 2023-07-16_

When we bought our house I was so excited to have mature fruit trees at the back of our property. A green apple, red apple, and a pear. They were pretty wild and hadn't been cared for is many years. We had our arborist out to prune the trees last Fall. Unfortunately, as we had suspected, the green apple tree was long gone. Although it had a few branches with green branches, the trunk was nearly hollow (and filled with acorns from the squirrels🤣). We had the tree removed but I asked them to leave the stump so the squirrels still had their home. We have lots of birds-chickadees And finches. I found this funny-faced guy online and had to have him. The pieces are separate so you can create your own expression, and the mouth holds bird seed. I can see him from my kitchen window and when I do, he always makes me smile. I'm sad I lost the tree, but this is pretty awesome too!

Where can I buy this?

I found it on Amazon. you can get all kinds of faces--ones with glasses, beards, side burns, even ones that glow in the dark! I have a teeny tiny, very small, not that bad I swear, obsession with outdoor decor. 😬 Solar lights, prayer flags, cool looking rocks, an old metal bed frame, bird bath...

That face is outrageous. My friends’ neighbors have ten, very sterile “totem poles” in their front yard. But they are all, like, an American Eagle and lumberjack heads. I’m going to send them this photo haha.
