[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 685383, member: 1963"] That could be. I just love trees, especially oaks and sycamores, neither of which we had up North as the winters were too cold for them. The house I lived in on the North shore had an immense sycamore on the front lawn, one of the few remaining in the area. I loved that tree. When my mother sold the house after my father died, the new owners promptly cut that beautiful tree down! It did need a bit of extra water in the summer to keep its roots out of the plumbing. My dad had sunk pipes around the root line and simply used to hook up a hose and give the tree a good drink a couple of times a week. He also used to mix a little fertilizer in with the water. After all, it was a very old tree and deserved to be spoiled a little. I assume the new homeowner got rid of the tree because of the plumbing issues it caused, but it's still a shame. [/QUOTE]
