ALERT alert; WARNING warning....
STAY away from being under big trees...
Heads UP everybody!
Less than 30-45 minutes from me taking the above pics,
I determined that one of my precious Japanese maples
was just about to snap-off some of its branches.
Yes, unlike F.carica, JM wood is very brittle!
I went out to shake off the load of the wet heavy snow.
Within the next 15 minutes, I see 3 separate large branches
FALLING down from (wild) background trees; no kidding!.
... compare these two pics ...
... me and my neighbor can use a chain saw....
Bye, bye old crab-apple tree; I'll will miss your lovely annual white/pink spring blooms...
Update...
Since me posting the above; I see another big branch on my neighbor's deck!
... and ... and ....
I just heard a loud cracking noise ... it must be another falling tree nearby....
