This tree has been annoying me for a year.
I'm normally a tree loving kind of guy, but losing that tree is quite an
improvement.
Yeah - I was surprised at how much more open it looks now.
Then again, I didn't expect half again growth in one year. Although I
was researching this type of pine and I guess it does that - one
minute it's six foot tall and well shaped and the next it's tree gone
wild.
Next up - a 60 foot chestnut.
Maybe next year. :)
The house we moved from 7 years ago (now my daughter's house) is next to
some old cranberry bogs that had not been used for years. About 10 years
ago I was walking on the bog and plucked about 6 little pine tree saplings
that were only as high as my knees. The "trunks" were about half the
diameter of my little finger. Just for kicks, I dug shallow holes on the
side of the property line, planted them and forgot about them.
They are all about 50 feet tall now.
