The large, but very rotten damson tree in front of the house had to come down...
|
Days numbered... |
We were worried that it would fall down, as we've lost at least two other diseased/old plum trees and had to chop down another one that was totally unbalanced by the loss of a huge branch.
|
Uh-oh! |
We don't like chopping them down, but as it was right next to the road we worried that it could fall down on someone and injure them...
Or worse!
|
Going... |
In the field, we are quite happy to let the trees take their chances, but this one has been for the chop the whole time we have had the house.
|
...going... |
There's a seedling of it next to it which is fruiting happily [normally], so we're not going to lose the opportunity to make
pig-damson liqueur.
Just not this year, as none of our trees have much fruit, if any.
|
...gone! |
Now we have a blank canvas for a few more decorative plants!
