Sometimes you cringe at the sight of a tree being trimmed, and sometimes you cringe at the sight of a tree not being trimmed. This poor specimen needs to be trimmed alright, right down to the ground:
The house on this property burned down. Some of the tree burnt. Then it got really windy and the crown of the tree snapped right off. It sat for a couple of years, along with the burnt-out house. More than one ownership change appeared to have occured. Finally, the house was rebuilt. I thought they would remove the tree at that point.
The orange caution tape is original to the crown snap of four or five years ago:
Nope. It's hopeless, guys. Seriously. Time for chainsaws and a stump grinder. Please, put it out of its misery.

Poor thing!
ReplyDeletePoor tree!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your question-suggestions on 66 Square Feet, for my series Why Garden? They are thought provoking, and will certainly make the list.
LOL, I love your tree mutilation posts. I have a few in my neighborhood that would be worthy.
