|A friend of ours talked with a local old man who commented that only old
| people planted fruit trees, young people were in too much of a hurry!
| I got my arm twisted Inot that it took much!) to give the talk for the first
| Cookeville Pawpaw festival (courtesy of Hidden Springs Nursery) and a
| middle-aged woman complained when I said pawpaws take 4 or 5 years to crop.
| I asked her if she was planning to be dead in 5 years. Everyone laughed. I
| said if she wasn't PLANNING on being dead in 5 years, then it was a good
| idea to plant some right now. But I like the notion of asking how old
| you'll be whether you plant a tree or don't plant it. Less shocking.
