Howling in the Wind

Backyard Pine Tree

We had a terrible storm sweep through Nashville on Thursday night.  Even after a night of high winds and jarring cracks of lighting, Mr. Diva, Manning and I were still surprised to wake up to the potential loss of 2 trees.  Poteet Tree Service has already been out to inspect and has said the backyard pine needs to go. I won't miss their endless pine needles come this fall, but I started to really worry about our magnolia's prognosis.

Mr. Poteet mentioned removal as an option, but I'm going to see what just removing the damaged branch will do.  I hate to loose the beautiful tree as well as the curb appeal. Definitely more updates to come!
