Don't tell anyone, but I don't really like tools like chain saws, so I probably won't buy one to use myself.<BR/><B>Kathy</B>... I like your plan!<BR/><BR/><B>Susan</B>...

You can still see the intricate shapes of the branches too. I hope your trees survive and flourish.OldRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307114475443602351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-5441959078852655172007-04-27T21:03:00.000-04:002007-04-27T21:03:00.000-04:00Yow, a chainsaw is pretty drastic.

But trees respond just great to threats so your trees may produce a great display this year if they heard you!<BR/><BR/>Not a tree whisperer.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-82813050720785182752007-04-27T15:41:00.000-04:002007-04-27T15:41:00.000-04:00It's amazing how long it can take for things to co...It's amazing how long it can take for things to come back after their buds freeze. A few years ago I had a young hydrangea that I was sure was a goner after a late frost. Only the fact that I had too much to do in the rest of the garden kept me from yanking it out. Finally in late July I bought a replacement. But when I dug up the "dead" shrub there was a tiny green shoot at the base. I shoved itMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948862014804530232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-39722858363819991362007-04-27T14:05:00.000-04:002007-04-27T14:05:00.000-04:00When in doubt, wait and see.

My small cherry, apple and pear trees are all leafed out, but the big tall trees in the local woods are still sporting a "November-February" look. It is a bit late for them to still be this naked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-89334130207383355592007-04-27T08:54:00.000-04:002007-04-27T08:54:00.000-04:00I thought my purple smoke bush was going to die, b...I thought my purple smoke bush was going to die, but yesterday I found some tiny little buds among the shriveled dead leaves. Yay. (I live in Indianapolis, so also in central Indiana.)<BR/><BR/>My phlox are starting to bloom. This is the first year I've had them.

If you really want to see some screwed-up trees, check out Western New York, The freak snowstorm in October caused a huge proportion of the canopy here to lose their branches.<BR/><BR/>They're still taking them down as I write this. It will be a massive effort to replace them.EALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339266900036592543noreply@blogger.com
