@jerseyridgearts Hey, we have the same name.
I am not sure what I will do. It is a huge tree! I would like to just cut it down for the pain they can be but it provides quite a bit of shade and is huge. Oh, guess I said that. Also I don't think I could talk my husband into it.
lol.
The tree in question is straight back from the fire. The junk around it has been cut away. I really wanted to put a huge circle of hostas around it but not really sure what I will do now. The next tree over is not ours (at least not yet). Just received a letter from the state that that lot is up for tax sale. That is how we got the one in the pic. I am hoping to get that one also but we will have to see what happens after all bids are in. Anyway for now I was really looking for somewhere to put a decent size hosta garden. Have more space further back but not really the trees for the shade.
