My mother in law just had to have two trees removed from her house she built in the early 70s. They planted the trees originally. She doesn't want new ones to replace them. I am not sure why.

I have a friend who recently had a large tree fall on his house, just missing his wife. It brought the second floor down to the slab on the ground floor.

Just bringing another side to the discussion.

Because they’re a royal PITA.

that said, we still enjoy our 100+ year old trees. Labor of love. I do understand why some cut them down, but it is unfortunate that people don’t seem to value them. You (or the next person) can’t just replace it. It takes a generation at a minimum.

They're a huge hassle. And don't you ever, for the love of God, plant a damn Bradford Pear.
