Updating our Tree Adventure
Friday the mighty oak fell. Monday, all the debris was cleared away. We are left with a stump that is low to the ground and will be ideal for turning into a planter. It's amazing how life is going to go on with our tree.
The update, however, is about another tree that is GONE. The City planted a Liquid Amber in the easement decades ago. You know the tree I'm talking about. The one with the nasty, spiny round pods that drop down and hurt you or, worse, you walk on one and find yourself flat on your back
Our police chief was noticing that it was sinking on one side and starting to lean perilously over the street. Not a good look. He call the mayor. The mayor came by and took a look. Yup. The tree had to go. So, whilst I will miss our beautiful Oak Tree, I will not miss the Liquid Amber Tree at all.

Good news! I think I know what these are. They have round brown balls covered with spikes. Why would anyone have even planted it?
ReplyDeleteExactly, Ginny. Terrible trees.
