I've often thrown around the phrase "volunteer trees," much to the annoyance of those around me. In case you don't know, volunteer trees are seedlings and saplings that spring up around large, mature trees. IOW, they're real trees that can be a nuisance to any gardener who wants to maintain control of his/her yard.

Call me crazy, but many-a-time as I've crouched down to pluck volunteer seedlings from the ground I've wondered how feasible it would be to transplant the baby trees into peat pots and give them away or even sell them for cheap at a makeshift "tree stand" in my front yard. I've never done it because it would take a fair amount of work; however, now I'm thinking that maybe next spring I might just try it, especially after stumbling upon this article. It just seems like such a waste to throw away perfectly good seedlings and saplings.
