Read and Heard Are Not the Same
When I was younger, my parents would often get live Christmas trees that they could then plant in the yard. For a variety of reasons, this often did not work (clay soil as well as who wants to dig a really deep hole in January?)
The name these trees are called didn’t make any sense to me, but that’s what my parents called the trees, so that must be correct.
However Friday I achieved enlightenment.
They aren’t “bald” trees, they’re “balled” trees.
(sigh)
