I feel for ya. Ive fought for trees my entire life. Power lines, road commissioners, neighbors, Big Rex my dad was a good dad but didnt like trees. Corn and beans dont like trees, that was Big Rexs problem .I came home from work one day and a neighbor had bulldozed a 1/4 mile fence row out that was way over 1/2 mine. If it wasnt for the wife talking me down I was headed to his house with a chain saw to cut every tree in his yard. Im glad she did now. Once there gone there gone.Im 60 now and have planted 3000 + trees in the last 40 yrs.I will never see them reach the size those big oaks were in that fence row were.If a tree hater had to suck for the air they produce he might think twice about them.
