Crabapple tree Tom Sharp

An important person once rested here beneath this small crabapple tree. That’s why we should never cut it down or ever break a single twig. At the same time, it’s only a small crabapple tree, and before he died he told us not to worship it.

甘棠 诗经

蔽芾甘棠，勿翦勿伐， 召伯所茇。 蔽芾甘棠，勿翦勿败， 召伯所憩。 蔽芾甘棠，勿翦勿拜， 召伯所说。
