We had to have the very large pine tree at our entry gate removed today. It did not survive the drought of last summer. It was over 100 years old, 100+ feet tall and 11 feet in diameter. Imagine what this big guy has seen in its lifetime. It is the largest pine I had ever seen. Pines grow this tall in Colorado but rarely this big around.
It was sad to say good bye to it.
See those little grey squares at its base? Those are 10ft high concrete columns! It towers over the big oak trees around it.
If you would like to see the pictures taken during its removal, go to the blog post "taking the tree down". The guy was amazing!
This was taken through its limbs the night of the super moon last year.
Love to all

I can understand your sorrow. We had a 100+ oak chopped down by the county because "It might fall on the road!"
