Hi everybody, my friends!
I'm planning a short western story, set in an abandoned cemetery, and I have a couple of doubts so I'm here to ask for advices.
I'm thinking about a small cemetery, about 50x50 feet, with the tombs randomly scattered, and with some dead trees between them. It's possible this "kind" of cemetery? Keep in mind that it is an abandoned cemetery in the almost flat plains.
What kind of trees can grow in that cemetery? Oaks or apple trees are a good choice? They must be dead (for neglicence or lightning or other causes).
Since the cemetery is abandoned, can a tree get a full growth within 40 years or less? My short story is set during 1878 at most and I thought to let the cemetery abandoned from 1845-48.
I'm sorry to have opened this topic for questions so simple, not deserving a full discussion. Maybe would be good to open a general topic where post "flash questions" like these above.
Thanks for your help.
So long,
Jonah
