FSC removed the major part of the tree today, leaving the stump for later. They
didi a good job and did not disturb things.

Thanks for the update Thorny, I’m with you, I’m quite sad to see the redbud
go, it was a beautiful specimen.

If you haven’t yet been back there to see, we lost one of the redbuds that
were the centerpieces of the mosaic garden. It was the single-trunked one
in the smaller of the two sections. The ground got so soft that the lean of
the tree finally overcame the hold of the roots, and once it got going the
weight of the tree cracked at the base of the trunk. We are waiting until
Monday to remove it so as to not pay emergency rates.
We will replace it with another redbud in the fall! The tree hasn’t yet
damaged anything more than one of the nandinas that I planted back there.
It was broken off but will grow back just fine. No telling what the
tree-removal folks might manage to take out!
At least all of this rain does have an upside. Everything is soaked good
and the water table is refilled. And the tree-bags fillers can skip a round!
