death in midsummer

replanted ash tree green
beyond death in midsummer
branches – no leaves yet

Just came home after 4 days away and my eyes were drawn to the miserable looking tree in my yard which seemed to grow in hope before it had to be resettled. At which point all leaves withered. I was surprised to see the 4 or 5 highest branches in the little tree (so far 140cm) showing 15cm long green tips.
