Tree expert number two was out to look at the eucalyptus tree in the back yard of the church today and said without a doubt, it needs to be chopped down.
The tree, said arborist Patrick Snyder (in pic below) has been dying for a very, very long time, and needs to be cut down to the stump. And this is not going to be a small job, I could see as he measured the trunk. It's more than four feet in diameter. The nice thing, he noted, is that once the tree comes down, we have a blank slate.
Yes, I said, and we plan to fill it with trees and paths and a garden and a sandbox and so many things. The eucalyptus branches can be borders for sandy paths and can be used to build a sandbox. And the tree trunk can be sliced and used for stairs, or as part of a foot path. Who needs pavers?
