Another absolutely fucking beautiful day outside today. Had planned a little bike ride but then we got some light afternoon rain so instead did some trimming in our backyard.
There was the rather ugly weed like tree that has been growing on the east side of this house since I bought it. Before all the hurricanes I just let it grow wild and at one point it covered a good part of the roof. With each hurricane a few more limbs would break and some fell on the roof damaging it. So now I've been keeping it well trimmed, like all the trees around the house, so that nothing would come crashing down in a storm.
No matter much I trimmed it within a very short time it would shoot out winding branches all over that was more like a thick bush then a tree. Being that its trunk was still over six feet trimming it was a lot of work so I cut it down leaving just a three foot stump sticking out of the ground. This would probably kill most tress I would imagine but I doubt I've killed this one. My plans are to keep it well trimmed and keep it bush size now higher them the fence. If I'm lucky I'll end up with a kind of kewl bush growing on an old tree stump.
