TREE TUESDAY on a WEDNESDAY

Tree trimming before the Hurricane... Was good timing by my neighbor getting the trees trimmed along our property last Sunday...

They have a concrete driveway running along the property line that goes over 300 feet / 90+ meters... That made it easy access for the tree trimming...

The acre and a half was an over grown field when I bought it in 1976... Now the locoust, maple and other trees are 60 feet / 18+ meters.. Looking scary high after the trimming...

Big wood chipper then used to get rid of the branches...

After they finished I got them to trim my magnificent Beech tree who's branches over hang my electrical power line...

Good idea.. those could whip into power lines or rip off all nasty.

Trees need a lot of room as they grow...but not by my house or power line...

That was perfect timing to have that done. I have a house out on the Eastern Shore of Virginia that I need to go over to this weekend to clean up the self-pruning pecan trees. The sycamore are in number of 3, but, we think they are about 150 years old.

The house looks all neat and trimmed up!

My pleasure! I agree with that! I have sycamores and pecan and oak... a few are over 100 years old. Yikes if they ever fall!

That's a huge property to maintain but would be nice to live on a big property like that 👍

That was nice of them to take the time to trim your trees too. I bet you feel much better having it away from the line.
