This Old Tree

This Old Tree is leaning to the right and has the potential to get blown over by a strong wind and take not only our garage out but the fence that sits behind that. So our arboriculturist has suggested that we take the tree down. It’s an old tree and so the decision was difficult but we thought it was best. Here are some pictures from the day so you can see just how much work it takes to disassemble a tree this size.







Lastly -grinding the tree stump. You really need to do this after you take a tree down because the stumps attract bees, ants, and termites. Once it’s ground up you put it into a bin and add some 10-10-10- and some lime and give it a year. You will get the best soil you’ve ever put into your garden. One tree is gone but the benefits will carry on.
