Office foliage
Monday, February 13th, 2006 10:30 amThe world’s most miserable tree has appeared in our office by the window. It’s a tree because it is indoors, outside it would be a sapling.
Now a healthy tree has a canopy that literally blocks out the sun. Even a young tree has a healthy covering of leaves if not as impressive a set as a mature specimen. This sad little thing has a single leaf for every foot of branch, and most of them are yellowy green rather than a good, rich green.
A little later when no one’s looking, I am going to give it a cup of coffee. That’ll perk it up.
