 Claude Checks Out The Saga of The Rainier Cherry Tree

 

My deceased wife, known as the Bengal Tiger planted a few cherry pits in the back yard, back in 2004. The following year, a Rainier variety tree began to grow. We ate cherries from that tree for 3 years, until disease killed the tree. Please, Claude, can you find that story in Chronicles of a Footloose Forester?

The AI program named Claude responded, thusly:

 

I'll search for information about "Chronicles of a Footloose Forester" and the cherry tree story you mentioned.

Two of the references did not pertain to the Bengal Tiger wife of the Footloose Forester.  But Claude did find the story he was looking for.

Claude: I found a reference to your cherry tree story! Let me fetch the specific blog post that mentions it.

Fetched Growing Things: Make It Happen

Claude: Yes, I found your cherry tree story in the "Chronicles of a Footloose Forester" blog! The story appears in a post titled "Growing Things: Make It Happen" from March 14, 2022.

The story describes how "She once planted seed from a bag of purchased cherries and, a few years later, harvested Rainier cherries from the tree that grew from cherry seeds she had saved and nurtured." The author notes that "it was probably the only Rainier Cherry tree anywhere in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" since Rainier cherries are typically grown in Washington state.

The story mentions that "The cherry tree occupied the very same spot in the yard where a peach tree had stood for more than a decade. After the peach tree died, she chose that spot because there was limited space in the yard that would allow for a fruit tree with a full canopy; and on level land."

The author refers to his wife as "the Bengal Tiger" throughout the Chronicles, and describes her as having a "make it happen" attitude when it comes to growing things. This particular story is used as an example of successful horticulture against the odds - growing a variety of cherry that shouldn't have thrived in Pennsylvania, thousands of miles from its typical growing region.

Although Claude found and excerpted the proper article in one of the referenced sources, it was the embedded logo for WordPress.com that usurped the distinction of appearing on the Public Library page linked to this LegacyStories.org archived chronicle.  Does that sound confusing?  Yes, it confuses but is also a part of the process when some AI programs like Claude edit and transmit data on some of its sources.  Yet, it furthermore demonstrates that various AI programs have their own protocols that we users follow passively.  

The Footloose Forester is immensely gratified to know that stories of his Bengal Tiger wife, growing a cherry tree from seed, and her mother, Tiger Dao, growing Rutgers tomatoes from consumed tomatoes on a dinner plate, can be widely shared across many media sites, thanks to AI.  And thank you, Claude for a job well done.
