In my case, it was a neighbor who inadvertently planted 50 Eastern
white pines on my property. This seemed great at first, as it
contributed to the goal of changing a cow pasture into a forest.
However, in my youthful ignorance, I overlooked the fact that many of
them were planted directly under power lines that served my house and
a few farms, but not her house. These trees played hell with the
power lines.
When the tree guys took down the Androscoggins I also had them take
down the pines. The neighbor was livid.
Why was he upset? They were your trees.
Those trees were like her babies. Something to remember her husband
by. She enjoyed the privacy screen that she and her late husband
inadvertently planted on our property 30 years earlier. Hey, so did
we.
But when those trees frequently knocked out electricity to our place
and neighboring farms, she didn't care because it didn't affect her
electricity.
