The area we live in now is mostly farmland with trees like you described in the plains states. When we lived on the other side of the side I loved to visit all the old growth forests up and down the coast. Without trees we wouldn't be.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-25780384427334160872012-04-21T13:58:15.556-05:002012-04-21T13:58:15.556-05:00Wonderful post.

Some are not ideally planted but we are fortunate that none have needed to be cut down. Some of our neighbors have not been so lucky and it has been difficult to watch their trees come down(most were planted under power lines).CraveCutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266646948003488534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-48531011192590607402012-04-20T19:39:49.397-05:002012-04-20T19:39:49.397-05:00What a great post! And you are an amazing, captiva...What a great post! And you are an amazing, captivating writer. I love trees. I wish we had a lot of land, so I can plant all my favourites. Since we bought our home three years ago, we've added a new maple (great trees for Canadian winters!); it will grow huge over time. We also added a lilac that won't grow very big, but will add spice to the garden. This year I hope to add another maple and a cherry tree. There are only so many we can add as our space is limited, but I will squeeze in a few. We had to cut down two cedars when we moved in. Previous owners had planted them against the home and they grew so big you couldn't open the gates to the backyard. I couldn't believe they hadn't thought it out before planting them there. They were much too big to transplant and it broke my heart to take them down. Last summer we had to cut down a maple tree in front of our home. Previous owners had planted that one too close to the home, too, and the roots were causing problems. It's too bad that people don't plan properly when it comes to trees. It's heartbreaking when one has to be removed because of a bad planting decision. Your trees are gorgeous. I can't wait to see photos of them in full bloom!Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-68775695545788178622012-04-20T18:01:47.363-05:002012-04-20T18:01:47.363-05:00I love trees, but they can be hard to grow in our ...I love trees, but they can be hard to grow in our cold, dry climate.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826369816985788575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-44507927794413121342012-04-20T17:17:32.333-05:002012-04-20T17:17:32.333-05:00I really enjoyed reading this Diane - you write so...I really enjoyed reading this Diane - you write so well!
