A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

On my visit, yesterday, to the Audubon Canyon Ranch, I spotted this tattooed young lady. Only the trunk and roots were visible and, being dirty old arborist, my curiosity, regarding the rest of the tree, was aroused. Overcoming my natural shyness, I addressed the young lady who, as you can see, was only too glad to unveil the crown of the tree. She also confided that the tattoo was only a week old and that, in the fall, she will have some colored fruit added to the tree. How lovely!
 
What does all this have to do with A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN?  The answer is "not a damned thing".
