Discussion: you don't like trees?

Need a view? More sun? Fewer leaves in the fall? Or did you get a new chain saw?

All of the above...plus the crab apple had a virus and for the last 3 years has dropped it's leaves by the end of June, it's the only one that's gone; the others were totally out of control and in need of a trim. Still lots of foliage left and my black raspberries will get more sun.

Mmm. Raspberries.
