Did you Google Earth the tree is actually there at the address you are going to?

I just bailed on the idea because its such a sketchy neighborhood. I went to a renound tree nursery called sylvans in westport ma. All the swanky big commercial etc labdscapers go there. Amazing and ten mins from my house. The have 3, 4' austrian pines with 4" taper trunks I might buy 1 tomorrow. $65. They have every type of tree we see on here. Baby hornbeam elms mugo $700 bonsai maples, up to 20' rootball beech maple etc $2000...

Real excited about the austrian pines i scoped. Just a minor top cut eventually and itll be an amazing piece i think.

I also found a pretty white pine on my property 4' tall with 3"+ trunk and taper. I topped a 4th off and a third of branches to let it work in ground for some time. I think a few nice pines are in my forecast. I have 2, 1.5' pitch pine training as well, similar to scots pine.

The addiction is moving ahead fully at this point. Even scoped a wild iris thats healthy behind my property i might plant around my garden. They enjoy late july transplanting.

The other free part is that this tree is in one of most violent crime rates in the country. Central falls RI. Im 6'3 210 LB and workout but still want me friend eric to come with me sonwell see. Thanks for all the input.

Lmao you think someone's gonna shoot you digging up a tree??

Just don't do any drug deals on the wrong turf and you'll be ok.

Aye.

I would only be worried if it's a set-up just to get a initiation murder victim to a place, in which case, your friend just becomes a two fer one special, unless your friend is loaded, and you are skilled with her.

Probably smart move. I just Google Mapped a street view of that area and a good number of homes all boarded up. Looked like Detroit in some streets. Not the best idea to drive through meth dens and crack houses for a tree.

I dont trust a lot of places w whats been displayed and levels of crime. I know they seldom square up w fists and im a big guy, wouldnt be worried about mugged by 1. My friend was pistol whipped near their, broken jaw for not holding a door or something for perspective.
