Last year there were large branches that came down in our backyard from the Norway Maple that sits right outside The Monkey's window at the corner of our house. It's this weird (healthy, sort of...) tree that has some nasty scars from old branches that have been ripped off and fallen down. There's some scummy stuff on it.
I was thinking... just trim the heck out of it and get the branches off the tree.
BUT THEN WE HAD ARBORISTS COME TO LOOK AT IT.
And only one recommended keeping it - but by that he meant to keep it from falling on our house or our neighbor's house by putting rods into it and then tethering branches together. For "safety" reasons.
Um.
WHAT???
I really didn't like where the tree is anyway... but seriously? Put steel rods in my tree?
So 2/3 recommended tethering branches and trimming it - but STRONGLY recommended just a whole tree removal.
SOOOOOO....
I need to get more estimates for a tree removal.
On the bright side... maybe I can have an actual veggie garden with rows instead of sticking veggies in between flowers. And even possibly some sort of outdoor storage for all of our crap.
Mer.
More to come on this as the story unfolds...
