Off The Subject , But Bothered.

this tree was older then me...and you .

      

It was the biggest and most beautiful tree in our yard and provided mucho shade for our house, but it was dying at the top and was hazardous because the dead limbs were falling. So we let a tree removal company butcher it all ...the whole frickin thing ! I wonder if we did the right thing, after having about three other tree guys tell us after the fact that it was ridiculous for someone to take out the whole thing because it was soooo big (It was about 4-5 feet across at the bottom) and would have outlived us all. If they had just clipped out the dead stuff like we wanted in the first place. I now realize that the whole tree probably didn't need to go, but the first tree guys told us it was diseased and kinda talked us into having the whole thing taken out for our safety.Once they started hacking away at it and cut half of it off there was no going back , we were stuck with a 20 foot stump.This is what happens when you take people's word for it ! God it was a such huge expensive mess and has taken us months just to get it all cleaned up .


STUPID STUPID STUPID!    I am so heart broken over this stinkin tree

This is what it looks like today ..

                                  

yuck .. I am kicking myself in the ass for this and probably will be for a while. I hate making dumb mistakes :( The only thing that comforts my mind about it is that we provided fire wood to a nice old man that needed it this winter and came and got a bunch of it and it is not going to fall on our house ( I don't think it would have anyway tree guy ass!) That and we are going to plug the stump with maitake to help the stump and root system die and maybe one day it will decompose enough and I can plant something else beautiful in this area of my yard. eeeh , what a shame.
