Thanks, that’s what I’d like to do, but Wife has 40 years of sentimental attachment to tree.. or 3 years ago, last trimming, I would have completely removed then. I care about the bee’s, and it is “better” around house when wife is happy. - Probably get it trimmed again, to point where The Tree Guy says is safe.. Gives me time.. plus bids to remove were from $2500 (door canvases) to $5000. I got one to agree to 3k, and that about kills me.. trimming to safe $800.. my heads spinning.. and now I hate storms
Thanks for all the feedback
Sentimental or not, that tree is dangerous (yes, I know, preaching to the choir). Tell her that I coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the neighbor's tree dropping that branch on me. I am looking at yet ANOTHER surgery to deal with the aftermath of the CONSTANT pain and mobility issues it left me with -- and I am one of the lucky ones. Most people wind up paralyzed -- or worse. Big trees like that are nothing to trifle with.
