Bye Bye Berry
If you have ever stood in our pool on a hot day and eaten big plump berries directly from our serviceberry tree, I have some bad news for you.
The tree, which already had some issues, was substantially damaged from the snow this weekend.
This was it before:
This was some of the damage:
And unfortunately, we had to go over and cut a lot of it down today (I think there's one more large trunk that needs to go, but maybe not.)
So this is it now:
There's other damage too, the bunnies really did a number on the lilacs and rhododendrons (though even they did not touch the horrible franken-lilac that I hate):
And a huge section of the bluestone collapsed into the pool, still assessing damage there.
At least the magnolias made it, though I would rather see white blossoms on them than white snow:
Honestly there's soooo much to do in the yard over there to make it nice for folks that I don't even know where to start. Anyone want to help plan or plant? (or have any screamingly good deals on plants?)
