I still plant, too.  It is the legacy thing, plus, I love trees and get 
enjoyment from watching them grow.  A few years ago, I bought and 
planted a ginko and I just love it.  I know, if I take care of it now 
that it is about 7 feet tall, that one day, my great great grandchildren 
might enjoy and appreciate it.  Or someone will.  IMO, it would be close 
to criminal to cut down such a tree.
