Now I have cut down tree for aesthetics. The aspen in the front had to go. 1) it would brush against the roof of the house every time a wind storm came up, 2) developed "aspen fungus" that is nasty, 3) was sending out suckers EVERYWHERE, 4) massive roots all throughout the yard & I was afraid of the roots screwing up my foundation..
Here's my thread on it coming down.
The thread "It's Coming DOWN!!!" in
Roses forum
I've replaced it with a teeny little Japanese maple now (hopefully it'll survive the winter this year as the Tricolor beech I had put in it's spot didn't survive this summer)
