Trillen eyes widened at the tree before he rapidly shook his head. "No tree Miss Kate! That would be a little much for me all at once." He figured he would have enough time and trouble/effort taking care of the strawberry plant and the fern. Even the future tomato plant and the others would probably keep him fairly busy. Adding a tree onto that? No thank you. What would happen if it got too big? Where would he put it then? Never mind that it was the type of tree that didn't actually grow big. Trillen didn't exactly know that. Though that wasn't the only factor affecting his decision of course. He really wanted to start small so one to two small plants fit right in with that idea.
