Hello Everyone; Hope you all are safe and well.
What the heck is wrong with the tree's around our house ?
We have lived here for 25 years and have never had this much breakage. And all in four months time.
We just got back from a four day camping trip on Sunday 8/06 and found this in our side yard.
RIP Black Walnut
Our decades old Black Walnut tree had split right down the trunk. Luckily that dilapidated old blue single wide trailer house that a renter abandoned here caught the tree and kept it from blocking the dirt alley way on that side of the property.
In the last 25 years it has only dropped one or two branches. So sorry it gave way it was such a big beautiful tree and a major source of food for our pudgy squirrel population. We still have two much smaller Black Walnuts on the same side of the property right where we currently park the Vacation Home.
The Hubs got the large cottonwood branch on the ground with the help of our Jeep and just needs to get it cut into sections for splitting, but this Black Walnut is going to be a major undertaking.
We would like to try and save the little Rubbermaid storage container that is right under it, but if we can't it was just a freebie from the Hubs work. He'll have to get on top of the trailer and see how the tree is braced before cutting anything.
Again, feeling so very Blessed that nothing was damaged and no one was hurt.
With all of these trees dropping branches and just plain giving up their all, I don't think we will have to get firewood for a few years.
That's it for today, I'll post about our camping trip to the Big Horn Mountains tomorrow.
Take Care Everyone
Hugs, Sandy
Oh no!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful tree.
Glad no one was hurt and hopefully not too much damage.
Yes, 1 good thing is the firewood.
Hope hubby doesn't have too much trouble taking care of it.

I am glad no one was hurt along with no property damage. I wonder what is causing it so suddenly.
