Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: mother nature, 1 by meadowyck

I feel bad for those of you dealing with your horticulture losses, they are never easy, and never when and on what you would like it to be either.

Weerobin, we had one 45 year old tree go down from a gust of wind and then 2 years later it was hit from lightening. This tree had a 3 split trunk, why the previous owner kept that tree like that I have no idea. 1 split was already gone when we purchased the house and the reminder went by by while we lived there. Thankfully two of my neighbors came with their chain saws and made fast work of it. I gave them the wood for their fireplaces and it didn't cost me anything and gave them a full years worth of wood. I was just so thankful when each section went down that my collies (I had six at the time) were in the yard, as each trunk took out the yard fence.

Muddy1 I'm sorry to hear of your losses, but I think you will be surprised at how most of them bounce back come this spring.

Mother nature is so incredible and brings great surprises in the spring time.
