...sad to see...
No tree expert here but why couldn’t they trim it back and then put a barrier fence around its perimeter? Hope they used the wood for pencils at least, eeheheheh!
been byy there, tree is alreaedy down
Don’t willows typically resprout from the stump? Ours on the farm always did, and then we had a new row of willows.
In a traditional Catholic demonology I was amused to see that there was one demon whose sole occupation was to make tree branches fall off trees and kill people.
What a boring job.
Interestingly, according to the demonology, Hell is very top-heavy with demonic nobility, government bureaucracy, and very complicated demonic assignments. That is, a particular major demon might wear “several hats”, with very complex duty assignments.
Ruling over north-east Africa, with 2 legions of subordinate demon warriors, but also in charge of Bermuda grass and Tifgreen, concert master for a biannual demonic banquet and orgy, as well as purveyor of licorice candies to the unawares.
Yet this one demon makes tree branches fall on people, killing them. That’s it. For a few thousand years that’s all he does. How boring.
Compare that to another demon, whose name was Sytry. His sole function is to convince women to take off their clothes and dance in public. I imagine that after a thousand years of that, he is like a demonic Bob Fosse.
“And one, two, three, and... Okay, number 16, we’ll call you! Everyone else, from the top...”
There have been some severe power outages in Connecticut, the past few years (days at a time). Whenever the utility companies want to cut or trim trees, people go ballistic, but the same folks (and politicians) go crazy when power lines get knocked out by the same trees, during storms. Can’t win!
