Silver Maples

Silver Maples grow from the tip...I learned that from Greg.  Around our house are Silver Maples which are 50 feet tall, not particulary tame. They don't grow very straight, they shoot out branches in cragy arms and dead branches hang in the canopy.  But still...they are so tall that they give one hope.  We have a cottonwood on the east side of the house that is as tall.  Hoping to save these old trees inspite of the lack of wisdom about it.  They are too close  to the house and over the years it's become easy jump for squirells to hop over to the roof.  So anyway, with that sentiment of  Greg went about trimming them up and away from the house...might as well with this man lift rented for the month...aka aticulating boom lift.  What a handy tool for those high up projects. And we have more than a few of those projects.
