Sixty yo Siberian Elms are the bane of this area.
All installed at the same time(like the Orangeburg pipe).
Low split in the trunk, soft wood, bark sheds, spindly.
Plus they shed year round.
I got rid of two next to the foundation, then paid an elderly neighbor $1,100 to get rid of one guaranteed to take out both my garage and all the power lines for the entire block. Shoveled her walks for five years, took her pies, sat and talked for hours, and helped her with some other major problems. She went into a home. Her son got some other critical limbs removed, but wouldn't even give me the time of day when I offered to help get rid of the remaining ones on the property line.
Oh well. Sometimes you can't change inconsiderate people.
