Jude, I know from your postings that you would do anything for some shade trees. But my trees are huge and so are all the ones in my neighborhood. I live on a corner lot and I have had at least 7 trees cut down over the 34 years we have lived here. And our lot is not that big. One tree cost me $800. to cut down and that was about 14 years ago. Not to mention the cost of some damage from broken branches from wet snow and ice. Don't get me wrong I like (not love) the trees because I enjoy the birds that live and visit them. That is why I don't want to remove them and get smaller trees.

I try to garden with what I have.

Here is a picture of the mammoth, I could only get a little more then a half of it in the picture. The dark line above the lattice work before the sky is the neighbors 2 1/2 story house, just to give you an idea how big this tree really is.
