I'd say we are in search of the "ultimate" perfect tree. . .One that is
beautiful, one that is the right size, one that isn't too messy, and
especially one that is disease and parasite resistant;-)
My ole Modesto Ash trees are way beyond their expected life in years.
The cost of having the Misteltoe taken out of them near annually, is an
expense I hope to shy away from in future years when they become
replaced.
