I have a beautiful double-trunk Liquid Amber or Sweet Gum in my back yard! Maybe 50 feet tall. Every two or three years I have a guy trim it all around and thin it out; and every other time, top it. He takes maybe 6 to 10 feet off both major trunks. It's roots do raise havoc with my waste water drain line that traverses my backyard too... but, I am NOT getting rid of that Sweet Gum! Still green, it hasn't been cold enough yet for the leaves to turn, but when they DO, it's impressive! keith whaley > -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Jack > Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Timely bit of nature which appears to portend an upcoming event..in >> much of the world. >> >> Shot as a lark only, but comments welcome! >> >> Jack >> >> http://photolightimages.com/aspupload/detail.asp?ID=255 >> >> K10D, FA 80~320 (@ 240), ISO 200, 1/3000 @ f/8.0 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
