We had 5 trees removed this year. This is the biggest. Brad (a Bartlett Tree Expert) doesn't look that high... but look at the picture to the right.
Yes, it's really something like a 70-foot tree.
Tulip Poplars grow over 100 feet tall and have shallow roots. This one was only about 25 feet from our house. Another one was about 10 feet from the house. This is before.
And this is during.
Next summer's garden should be better, or at least brighter!
