Agreed, we are so fortunate to have so much distance between us here. Our biggest asshole neighbor died a little over a year ago and his wife shortly after.
The trees here are a constant battle as they were all volunteer and hap-hazard as this used to be cattle grazing ground prior to the lake/dam.
Have been planting desirable trees for the last decade. Colorado Blue Spruce, Peach, Plum and Austrian Pine. One of the peach trees just died along with a loblolly pine, my favorite and the Cherry tree. About to give up on dogwood after 6 failures.
Fig trees have done extremely well and many of the neighbors look forward to enjoying the figs in the fall and plums in the summer.
I have taken down 34 cedar trees, a monster 100 ft tall Sycamore and now the Emerald Ash Borer has attacked our three Ash trees. I hired the biggest one removed two weeks ago and just noticed the other two starting to lose their bark.
