That was generous of you to donate a tree in my name John... but to really
be helpful ship it up here.
I have the perfect place to plant it. My dog and I walk/play here several
times a week.

That tree is probably being planted as we speak! From the Chesapeake Bay
Foundation site:

"Trees are crucial to the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers,
and streams. They slow down runoff and the erosion of soil. They absorb
nitrogen and phosphorus, the two main pollutants in the Bay. Trees also
provide habitat for wildlife and help to cool stream temperatures.

All trees will be planted next to rivers and streams in the Chesapeake Bay
region so the trees act as a buffer between land and water an important
element for protecting water quality."
