An American plum tree is currently leafing out In the corner of my kitchen It’s wrapped in a plastic bag Nestled in moist peat moss or some such material We’ll decide on a location, my wife and I, then plant it That’s no easy choice, since this tree--a shrub, really Puts down roots that spread widely Into the surrounding soil These roots bring new growth to the surface Eventually forming a hedge Placing a plum shouldn’t be taken lightly Those roots make it hard to move.
