The succession of fences:

My grandfather’s fences were railroad ties and TPosts. As the railroad ties weaken, I am planting in trees as living fence posts: black locust, apple, pear, plum, linden, oak, cypress…

When the trees are young, the aging posts still hold them straight and tall. As the trees mature, they help hold up the aging posts. Someday the posts will be gone and the trees will be the succession in holding up the fence.
