Timmmm Brrrrrrr Falling the Sycamore 7/11/08




Take a good look at the top pic on this entry -- the big sycamore came down today. It took the four men about 6 hours to remove the tall tree from the backyard to make way for the new addition. We had it evaluated a few years ago because the safety cables holding the split trunks together had snapped and we wanted an update regarding the health of the giant. The arborist said it had a desease and was being eaten from the inside out by bugs - much of one of the trunks was hollow as you can see in the last picture. It was an amazing site watching it come down - Andrea, Erin and I watched from the family room as it came down limb by limb.
