Tree Trimming

Jul 28, 2010 by Naomi.

Wade, my neighbor to the west, waited all day yesterday for the tree trimmers to come. He wanted the branches of my Douglas fir that hung over his yard to be cut away. A couple of men finally showed up today around ten a.m. After Wade discussed what he wanted, which involved my tree, I talked to the head trimmer and asked him to look at the stuff in my yard. He trimmed several low limbs off Douglas that were a bit low on Wade’s side. I didn’t argue with Wade and with the low limbs removed the tree does look OK. My back yard is dry and if I water all night for a week I don’t think it will be enough to green it up but I’ll try. I negotiated to have a couple of big branches cut off my black walnut by the shop. A lot of smaller limbs were already dead. Clouds hovered all day and I could smell rain so some must have fallen but evaporated before getting to the tree tops. Maybe tomorrow.
