Goodbye trees

Three trees were chopped down

We had a magnificent large magnolia tree in our garden that suddenly and inexplicably started to die. Sadly it didn’t take much time at all before all the leaves on the tree died and there was no new growth coming through anywhere.

As it was quite a large tree we needed to have it removed so it wouldn’t pose any danger to man or beast, or cat!

There was a second tree that needed to come down as well, this one had four trunks, two of which had already come down in recent storms. The remaining two trunks needed to be removed as soon as possible! Again, to keep the cats safe!

There was a flowering cherry tree on the fenceline of the orchard that also decided to die on us, and a few branches actually fell out of the tree during the aforementioned storms.

I found a man with a chainsaw and the skills necessary to remove the trees!

He turned up armed with his chainsaw and a very long ladder, and he proceeded to take all three trees down for us.
