Sadly, we couldn’t save the linden tree but we did save the wood. On the advice of two arborists, the linden tree was removed from the front yard. We will be consulting with our landscaper about what to plant in that area in the Spring.
Many thanks to Heather and friends for moving the wood and stacking it by the south fence, at the back, where it will be available for firewood once it has had time to dry, probably this time next year.
