    Bid that tree!

    Dude, now just tell me your buddy’s cousin is named ‘Gus’.

    Bid that tree!

    After reading “I already have a price in mind” I thought your post was going to lead to how much he would sell the wood to you for. He must have really swallowed some pride to even make the call. Reminds me of when we got an “emergency” call at dinner time from our former social studies...

    To me, (because you asked) this kinda comes down to two factors that lean heavily to hedge quality…shade tolerance and the tendency to sprout new growth on old wood. Neither species in question is high in either category. IMO, I would suggest phasing out the trees over time and replacing with...

    We had a similarly sized Silver Maple go down in town over a month ago. The trunk is still lying there right along the top of a steep bank above the sidewalk. The crown is gone but the heavy trunk remains. While arguably stable, I’m about to offer removal pro-bono.

    I think we were looking at the same clouds yesterday! Nice job on the tree. That one photo looked like the leader was in mid-fell but nay. Big stump! Looks like one of those 3 hour crowns followed by 5 hours of raking!
