Tree Clean Up

November 6, 2014

All Above Trees came and cut down the Bradford pear tree. It took them about an hour and a half to get it down and fed through the chipper. They did a pretty good job.

Downed Tree

On November 1 we had the big snow that was gone by the afternoon. Over night we had winds up to 50 mph and awoke to our Bradford pear tree having lost a large branch.

These trees are notorious for having their limbs/branches stripped by wind and ice. This one evidently has a history of this.

It took out the fence when it fell. The fence was in ill repair anyhow. I had tacked the barbed wire up on deteriorating posts mostly for show. I had planned to replace the posts that were rotting in the ground, but SWMBO discouraged me from that, and now I am glad.
