'Tree Fairy' Plants Trees On Unsuspecting Neighbors' Lawns

DENVER -- The "Tree Fairy" camouflages himself in foliage and said he is guided by the light of the moon.

"My mother wants me to quit. My sister seems to want me to quit. They think I am a little crazy and are worried I might go to jail," said the Tree Fairy.

The Tree Fairy wants to remain anonymous on his unique mission of goodwill. An elfish angel of sorts, the Tree Fairy finds joy in planting trees in the yards of unsuspecting neighbors.

"I like nature. I wanted to live around nature. I really wanted to live in a forest so I was either going to live in a forest or I was going to bring the forest to me," said the Tree Fairy.

The Tree Fairy said he has been planting trees in neighbors' yards for the past two years. It's a compulsion which started rather simply, he said.

"I found a bunch of trees on sale that I absolutely could not resist. There were some pine trees, oak trees, maple trees, cherry blossom trees and aspen trees," said the Tree Fairy.

He said one night he just decided to plant them.

The Tree Fairy took 7NEWS along for the ride and showed us how he does it.

It was a lot of work but took him about 30 minutes. He is careful to bring a tarp to dispose of the soil he digs up. He then plants the tree and fills the hole back up, watering it before he goes.

The Tree Fairy then leaves a note telling his neighbors where the trees came from and asks them to take care of it.

He said, so far, he has planted 41 trees and 28 remain.

"Unfortunately, not everyone wants a tree," said the Tree Fairy.

He said it doesn't discourage him because he draws joy when he sees his neighbors watering their trees and even decorating them for Christmas.

The Tree Fairy is violating the law by destroying his neighbors' property, but police told 7NEWS they haven't received any complaints.

The Tree Fairy has set up a Twitter page for people to follow him: www.twitter.com/thetreefairy.

Just wait until he hits someone’s gas or water line.

[Daffynition]

Someone might shoot him before that happens.

Bear traps.......

[Daffynition]

Did the Meter fairy run out of change and have to change occupations?

[al baby]

Vandalism and trespass.

I’ll take one! Just had my property line located yesterday too so all the safety marks are there. Would save me the work of doing it myself.

[Salamander]

Or their Doberman shows up to “use” the new tree.

[Hoffer Rand]

Definitely a nanny stater. What’s next? The homeless pet fairy? I can see him now, going around and leaving strays on everyone’s door step so no pets are homeless.

[Daffynition]

I just had a p!ssy day at work. I swear shoot him just because and go into the house and pour myself a Scotch and call it a day.

Wouldn't that be the "pee" fairy?

[Daffynition]

Gnarly.

Maybe he should just go door to door and ask people if they would like him to plant a tree in their yard.

It would be a nice gesture and trees are great.

Tinkle Fairy

[Hoffer Rand]

That’s my thought. Johnny Appleseed comes digging in my yard in the middle of the night, he’s going to become Johnny Aeration.

[JoeFromSidney]

Is he going to come and rake the leaves in the fall?

[kalee]

[tbw2]

Mess of planting too close to a septic tank line. Messing up someone's sprinkler system. Attacked by someone's dog. If he wants to plant trees for free, there are plenty of Earth Day dummies to do it - if not an ACORN grant to pay him to do it. ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

[GraceG]

Can an HOA sue him if he encroaches in their territory?

[GraceG]

Honestly I would have respect for him if he would plant trees on public land and continue existing lines of trees or replace dead trees with new ones.

[goat granny]

When my boys were teenagers and so were most of the kids on our block young males, they like to plant pot in some neighbors garden or shrubs..by the time I found the ones planted in my shrubs they were over a foot tall......

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Get his name so they can sue him for the cost of cleaning the < censored > roots out of their septic system.

[The Cajun]

Yes “Tree Fairy”, come on my property and I'll show you ALL the capabilities of a Homelite Super XL chainsaw with a 30" cutting bar.

[JoeProBono]

[goat granny]

LOL That is one pathetic pot plant, the ones in my shrubs looked better than that......must have been better seeds....:O)

[Cailleach]

Bring me a Magnolia Tree, Mr Tree Fairy!

[Daffynition]

So, if this *tree fairy* guy wasn't so ghey sounding, and *he* was actually a *she* tree fairy ... would you feel differently? ;-D

[The Cajun]

.....*he* was actually a *she* tree fairy ... would you feel differently?

Well now, that would cause the old Cajun to do significant reassessment on his previous assessment of the situation and its' resolution ;^)

[Daffynition]

HAHAHA! ;-D

[piasa]

I can see him now, going around and leaving strays on everyone’s door step so no pets are homeless.

Maybe that explains who dumped a flock of domestic ducks, a rooster and a pregnant cat in my citrus orchard.

They were delicious... duck a'la orange, rooster gumbo and Kentucky fried kitten.

:-)

I wouldn't care if Johnny Appleseed shows up, but if a fairy does I'm going to let the dog out.

[wardaddy]

Wonder if he knows this bunch?

Absolute Insane Weak Puppies Here

[Steve_Stifler]

So Tolkien got it partly right. . . . the Ents sashay to war.

[Daffynition]

OMG! How could I have forgotten!

PERFECT! Absolutely PERFECT! :-P

More Obama voters, enviro-wacko hippies.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

[Moltke]

Is it this guy?

[Daffynition]

LOL ...I don’t think so.

But I was “Visitor 16924590”

I can’t believe I clicked on that link! LOL

[chris_bdba]

Just wait until he destroys someone’s expensive landscaping and gets his rear sued!

[Daffynition]

If this were in Texas, he would have already been removed by the coroner.

[Moltke]

Yeah...that one-man freak show has been circulating threads all over the web for years. If you’re looking for sheer weirdness - there it is!
