Message: [QUOTE="80shusky, post: 2404928, member: 5992"] Northern Fairfield County here. My two big Maples have dropped all their leaves but I have two giant oaks that keep their leaves forever. True to their nature, they are both full and green. I'm having one of those dropped next year if it kills me (financially). It is about 100 feet tall, huge canopy and bigger around at the base than my 6' wingspan by plenty. It is healthy, but hangs right over my house. During Sandy, one of its huge limbs dropped on my roof and tore the gutter off that side of my house. During the ice storm in October the year or two before that it dropped a few huge limbs on my yard, one right next to my house. If it were to fall on the house, it would cut it in half. It is a $2,500 takedown easy, but I'll get 3-4 cords of wood out of it for the fireplace. I love trees, they are awesome. But, that oak needs to go, and both big maples also. [/QUOTE]
