Sweet Gum Saga
Remember this spring when I posted about how my backyard sweet gum's days were numbered? About how I despised those little balls it produces? About how I thought it might be time to cut it down?
This weekend I got my wish...but not exactly on my terms...
Friday night there were storms with wind gusts up to 50 mph. My sweet gum lost a substantial limb.
This limb is easily 50+ feet and that hole on the side of the tree is at least 4 feet tall. The limbs reach higher than my house, too.
I'm getting estimates on having the tree removed.
