We had four trees taken down on our property (aka the backyard) this past week. One was a very old Black Locust that was well past its prime. The other three were Red Mulberrys that had grown so tall that only the birds and squirrels could get at the berries. There are a number of other smaller Mulberry trees on the property, so the birds and squirrels will still have an ample supply of berries. And I won’t have as many leaves to clean up each Fall.
The guys from the tree service that did the job were really efficient. There were four guys in the crew. They started around 8:15 AM and had everything done and cleaned up before 1:00 PM.

A guy who does tree trimming and removal stopped by a few days ago and asked me if I had considered getting the old locust tree to the right of the shed in the picture cut down. The tree has seen its better days and I have indeed thought of getting it removed.
