'From Little Acorns Mighty Oaks Do Grow'

well in this case another piece of Christmas cheer,
it was a Christmas tree, 30 years ago this 6 footer was planted to add a bit of festive fun,
now at a towering 44 foot it is still growing, meanwhile the whole village arrives to decorate it, Mr Rowlands, 65, a freelance producer for the BBC, said: ‘After a few years we realised the tree was growing incredibly tall and was getting more and more attention, soon the entire village was joining us every December to help us decorate it.’
Mrs Rowlands added: ‘We’ve been told it is the tallest residential Christmas tree in Worcestershire and maybe in the UK, We’re extremely proud of it even though it completely towers over our house,
I love happy Christmas stories, I just hope health and safety do not read this one!
the quote I used to head the post could be one of theses,
Thomas Fuller's Gnomologia, 1732: "The greatest Oaks have been little Acorns."
or in an essay by D. Everett in The Columbian Orator, 1797: "Large streams from little fountains flow, Tall oaks from little acorns grow."
