But one of the main branches of our 50-year-old apple tree is clearly dying. Each time we have a storm, I think this is the end.

I think May Dreams Carol was trying to grow a Crepe Myrtle, too - but you did it. <br /><br />Limbs from trees are a pain to saw & clean up, but if it didn't hit the fence, it should cost you time and effort - not the cost of new lumber. Take it slow! <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-5329479910140813862010-07-20T21:59:43.816-04:002010-07-20T21:59:43.816-04:00How very, very cool!
