Boar Buster, just get a branch off of someone elses tree, turn over a shovel of soil kind of soften it up. water the puddin out of it a lil miricle grow or shovel of compost or what ever ya got. mix it up make a lil mound and water it again. poke a branch in the ground around a foot deep leave plenty branch sticking up the more the merrier and it should have leaves. Just let it sit there till next spring if it sprouts ya got ya tree nothing to loose. If it dont by then maybe you can aford a store bought one. Believe me brother I know how it is to be poor cause I am now. But us Cajuns know some country boy tricks.
