Berrygirl, I too love this tree. About 30 years ago I found a seedling at the base of the gutter downspout at my moms house in NH. I transplanted it to the back of her yard to see how it would do. A few years later, mom told me to get rid of it, she didn't like it. I transplanted it to my new house, right outside of my kitchen.
It's a female and produces many seeds that a Mockingbird guards throughout the Winter. A pair of Cardinals enjoy the seed also. I have collected over a dozen babies and they are now a living fence on my side yard.
This pic is of the original. I had to use a heavy rope to pull it back somewhat upright for a couple of months the next Spring, other than a bit more 'character', it is doing fine.
