The Senske ( yard care ) guy came by earlier to talk about how were going to treat our weeds, ooppss I mean yard, and he happens to say " I love that tree out front!" I said " Really???? Its yours!!"
He looked at me kind of funny and asked if I was serious and I assured him I was and he said " Great can I come by this evening and dig it up? It would be perfect at my cabin!"

I said " You betcha!" lol

Juts saved myself a ton of work and a Saturday! PLUS now I can go shopping and buy myself a NICE tree.

Not a bad deal if you ask me lol.

What kind of tree is it?

We have a tree in our front yard that grows these awful balls with thorns on the ground....ugghh....I want it cut down so badly!

its a weeping pine of some sort its only 3 years old I guess and only about 4 feet tall its more than twice that though in branch width.

Its just an ugly tree! lol

The guy was totally shocked that I didnt want it! He was saying
" WOW what a beautiful tree!" He's more than welcome to it while I go buy myself a nice willow

Before he digs it up, take and post a picture? I wanna see this "ugly tree"

I have no idea!! The balls are about the size of a golf ball and they are everywhere. When you cut the grass its more like your cutting these balls. Its an adult tree though so wouldn't be all that easy to just cut down....although I almost think it will be worth the money to have it done.
