I marked it purple and hope to keep it alive but even my neighbor said its old.

Would you keep it? I am planning to keep it or is it really too old?

Yeah. But its also a machine that for relatively little effort, food just.. appears. I have maybe 25-35 fruit trees planted at this point? They all require a decently high degree of maintenance and each species has its own issues and considerations, fertilization requirements, and timings that as a grower I need to be aware of. I also get boxes and boxes of fruit every year for basically the cost of watering and time of maintenance. I've harvested maybe 100lbs of fruit just this month? We get to have fresh fruit everyday. We also get to allow it to ripen on the trees, which makes them taste about 2x better, maybe more. In combination with above ground gardening, a significant portion of our green grocery bill is covered. It requires hours (8+) of work every week.
