when I moved here - it was very forested - everyone had large trees in their yards - I have one that is over 500 years old. But in 30 years of watching neighbors come and go, the one thing that is common is that move in cut down trees, and then move on. See,they don't like the mess trees leave on the ground (branches and leaves). many of my neighbors have cut down trees on the edge om my property, that i considered my trees. I have to warn each one of them I will sue them if they cut any more down and I plant seedlings on the edge, but it will take a few centuries to get as old. WHat the hell is wrong with people? why don't they just live in a city if they don't want trees? Of course one reason is because it messes up their green lawns (yes, I have weeds in my lawn, bnoi grass if perfect. i pull them out a few days a year by hand, hatesses poisons) . my brother has moved a few times and the first thing he does is cut down the trees and then complain about his electric bill - idjit, he will never learn about deciduous!!
Sorry, have to rant, 3 years ago, someone bought a house from my neighbors that lived in theirs for 50 years and the first thing they did is cut down 300 and 400 year old oaks and then put in a huge patio and fake fountain in their back yard and infringe on my property line. I told them one step on my property and I call the police when I found they hired someone to cut down my 500 year old oak ad "a favor" to me.
I no longer have a completely shaded house because of the neighbors tree trimming, before I did not need an air conditioner because I was always in the shade and it was cool.
end of rant.
