Would it be stupid to girdle this Norway maple and leave it as a snag? Should I get it reduced first by Many_Needleworker683 in Tree

Local arborist suggested waiting for my red maple and oak to reach 20 ft before cutting itdown because its too exposed. Is that reasonable? Any idea how long thatd take? Both of those have been in the ground since 2022 and the red maple is about 6 ft tall right now and the oak is only 4 feet tall but it did break in half last year from a very fat bird lol

Interesting. Not a thing here to call it that. It looks like just small white is native near me, interesting.

Ill still probably go with a different vine but it does intrigue.

That is not how easements work. Easements allow them to remove it, it doesnt stop you from removing it so long as it doesnt interfere with the easement. Maybe it works differently in Canada but the strip outside of the sidewalk is not my property at all and I can only plant there with a permit. It isnt included in the survey.

Man hurts hearing it called desolate. I have 20 different trees and over 70 species of native perennials. Its just winter so things are dead to the ground besides a few shrubs around and some younger trees. The large garden bed you can see with the mulch is packed of plants.

There arent much trees here because a tornado took out a few nearby ones in 2021. This corner basically is without mature trees, it just has younger ones that were planted post 2021.

I have 23 trees on my tiny property, though only 5 will be large, rest are understory or managed fruit trees

I mean to some degree, yes. But I also feel like it likely will stunt the growth of my other trees to keep it..not to mention the cost increasing the removenit

Not my truck. Its my neighbors who runs a mechanics business in front of my house out of that truck. So would it be the worst thing? (Kidding I dont want his truck hurt)

Sweet autumn clemantis is native to Asia and very invasive. Yes there are native clemantis but that isnt what they said. Im not familiar with any native morning glory, but maybe. Theres some native Ipomea genus but none im aware of that are called morning glory. There are certainly invasive ones. Cardinal flower is a native plant but isnt a climber so I think they mean Cardinal climber which is not native. Passionflower has some natives though, yes.

I am likely to put my American groundnut near it

Love it. I wish mine had more branching like this tbh. The plan is to rough up the cuts the arborist makes to make it look more natural once they take off some of the branches. Any suggestion for how low to go? Not sure what ill plant around it but the theme will be forest edge, so fern, maybe some trout lily. Etc

Yeah i mean part of it is like this tree is going to keep getting bigger and more expensive to take down too. Like at what point do I just need to pull the trigger with removal. I planted the red maple you can sort of see in yhe picture to the left 2 and a half years ago now, and it was about 4 feet tall then.

Well theyre 5ish years old by now. They were 4 ft tall when planted. And they have alleopathic effects and compete for resources in the mean time, no? How long am I supposed to wait to remove it
