Our friend who lives next door to Honeys old house has rented a huge lift to trim some of his trees.
After finishing off everything tall on his property, and on the street, he started in on our huge willow tree that grows between our houses. The tree is 65 feet tall and grows up and over both homes. It was a pretty tree, but it is dying. Much of the main branches were hollow inside, and with the strong gorge winds, the danger of it falling through either home is very real. We arrived after he had done most of the tricky stuff, in felling all large limbs that hung over the houses.
All that remained were the main structure, and that should be done once the afternoon winds subside enough to extend the lift again.
