We said goodbye to this tree this week. It was the largest and oldest tree on our property- 30-40 years old, according to the tree guy- so, not so old by tree standards. I really liked it when we first bought the house, but have since become not so fond of it. It was messy: dropping leaves, berries, pollen, twigs each year. The berries made Henry AND Shelby OH SO SICK one night, but I'll omit that story so I don't have to re-live it. The tree died this past summer, so we bid it adios. The neighbors loved the firewood it produced. The boys are excited to have more space in the backyard. I think I want to plant a new tree, but I may be outvoted on that one.
