What happens when a big tree hits a bigger tree...

[Zach Smith]

Man, that looks ugly. Glad the snow over here wasn't quite so damaging. I did have a hawthorn in the ground fall over from the weight.

 

[Dav4]

A snow laden pine finally snapped over this afternoon and took out a larger oak that was partially rotted through. Lost my red pine... no branches on it. All my chojubais lost branches but should make it. My Goji berry took a beating, as did some large maples, my large azalea, Mavis the yew, and others. I'd say the silver lining is that I now have lots of free space on my benches for new trees, but alas, my bench space is down by 40% at the moment. I guess I'll be re-doing my benches and irrigation system shortly....

That’s awful! And I thought I had it bad with no power!

When I saw the Jin on that trunk, I thought it looked familiar...

I've been on the verge of tears since I came in from cutting up the oak.

[Victorim]

That's horrific can't imagine how you feel.

No lie... I'm sitting in my living room sipping on an IPA with tears in my eyes. I'll feel better tomorrow, but it aint going to happen today.

You'll have something rise up out of the ashes like a Phoenix and you will have a good story to tell about it guaranteed!

 

[dirk hoorelbeke]

Hard times. Sorry to hear and see this.

 

[CasAH]

Sorry to see the damage. Hope something bounces back.

 

[Tentakelaertje]

Aww man my condoleances. This sucks biiiiiig time, sorry to hear!

 

[0soyoung]

Don't know what to say other than I would be drinking something much stronger than an IPA.

 

[petegreg]

Two bottles of red wine did it last time, for a while. I feel your pain.

 

[Soldano666]

[LanceMac10]

And inconsolable.......

Sorry news.....

Thanks for the kind words. It does sting...man I'm going to miss that pine!

 

[Nybonsai12]

Wow I didn’t realize it was more than the red pine and that alone is devastating. Sorry to hear there was much more damage.

Hopefully the rebound purchases dull the pain!
