summer trim

after heavy rains
the tree's abundant branches
need a summer trim


before . . .

after . . .

It may not look all that dramatic here, but the difference really is noticeable. Tom trimmed the bottom layer of branches up so that we can fully walk under the canopy.

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
With branches trimmed it's lost
some weight
This little tree...still looking
great!
(Apologies to Kilmer)

Jean - that was great! Ha ha! I can't believe that I merely mentioned that the tree needed a trim and Tom got right to work! He did a nice job.

Makes a huge difference--I know it well because of the work we've been doing. Not only can you walk under it, but you can see "through" the tree now though it still stands. Expands the vista. Good work!
