In my reality here, I tried mutilating Juniper ashe (blueberry version)
trees. I cut some real ugly. Sheered the bark off in many cases. Piles of
needles all over the trunk. My only purpose was to clear the tree branches
for ease of riding lawnmower use. In other cases, I wanted to keep the
tree, but allow more sun for the live oaks. So, I chainsawed all the
branches to well over over my head height. Major butchery, mind you.
Tell use where you live. I would like to hold a tree-planting party at your
place. We can plant sweet amber saplings all over your property. Then, in
a decade or 2, we can have a reunion. And see the foundation of your house
in ruin.
Quack, quack.

I was just watching a show on MSNBC about contractors who do not belong
offering services. What about these contractors who know nothing about
trees, never dissected trees, piling mulch on the trunks of trees,
improperly planting trees, improperly pruning trees going to be stopped? I
just passed Raymore and Flannigan store and all the trees were mutilated.
How do people who know absolutely nothing about trees get away with
committing these crimes to trees and people who pay them for the
treatments? Same with forestry, our own federal government is doing it on
federal land. People, congressmen who know nothing about trees and their
associates making decisions on the way National Forest are managed. If you
are going to reveal home wreckers what about people that hurt trees for a
living?

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding
us that we are not the boss.
