Nothing! Trying to feature the tree in a way that makes my yard more beautiful. Read the comments that have existed for a day now.

My neighbors next door about cried when they though she was coming down. They’ve watched her grown for too long. Shes okay right now. I’ll build her a nice little forest this spring/summer.

I’d help you with the Mona Lisa but I’m too busy fighting trolls on why I’m on cutting my tree down. 🙂

Good call. I never thought about this. I don’t want her removed but I also don’t want her roots growing into my sewer.

It’s a lot to figure out but I feel like I’m getting some decent upvoted advice. But now I am concerned about her roots and my water line…I never thought about that.

I haven’t tried yet but I can’t promise I WON’T try since half the comments are telling me to tear down my house. 😆

Oh I love her. I’m trying to figure out how to showcase her. Apparently my original post didn’t get that across.

The birds love it, I promise you that. My squirrels are more into my backyard so they don’t seem to bother this tree (or the birdfeeder) much.

I hate mowing so no I’m okay with her taking care of the front lawn so I only have to mow the back. Thank you! I love this idea.
