So this tree started causing trouble a few years ago resulting is a couple insurance claims. As much as I did not want to cut it down, it had to be done. I kept a section of stump for my sister. She's a teacher and wants it for a project. I counted 83 or so rings, puts it at about as old as the house.
I'm curious, why is the inner section of the tree darker than the outer?
What can I plant to replace it that will grow fast? No more Maples, no Locust trees either. Too many of those around here. I absolutely cannot stand the way the yard looks without that tree.
Also, they messed up my driveway grinding out the stump.
