For all those wondering why the tree is coming down







We have decided to cut down our tree in the back yard, it is about 80 ft. tall and takes fourteen adults standing straight to circle the trunk. We have had a lot of people say, Why are you cutting it down? and you will regret it. This will help you understand, last night there was a wind storm and two branches about 25 ft. tall broke off of our tree and landed in our neighbors yard, a tree similar to ours had a branch fall and took out our other neighbors phone line. If those branches from our tree had fallen on the neighbors house it could have caused some serious damage and a pretty penny out of our pockets!!! However we have loved the shade the tree has provided and plan to plant a shade tree in its place about a third of its size.
