why do people hate trees?

[hollysmom]

31. Youhave to understand, I removed fir trees near my garage that were damaging the wood

But my neighbors in this 100 year old neighborhood cut down 500 year old oaks - not easy to replace. I have had one leaning over my garage for years, which is why I don't want my neighbors trimming it, I am encouraging branches on the other side - it is 150 inches in circumference and the previous owners had a coring done and found it is 500 years old. this tree has with stood the carpenter ants (red oak) and squirrel families and is beauty. that is the one everyone wants to help me cut down because it is old - duh.

I did have a 150 year old tree cut down because it was rotten - white oak with carpenter ants. when you see a bird fly in one side and out the other without stopping, something is wrong. But planted and grew another tree in it's place. i have a nice 60 year old tree the previous owner grew and it is straight and strong except on the property line and the neighbors cut off all branches on their side. .
