If I take out this tree/shrub will I live to regret it?
Comments (8)"I would like to make the house look less dour and more balanced. I'm not sure how to accomplish that. Should I take out the tallish shrub/tree thing that is pictured (at the right edge of the porch, next to the front door)?" Take it out. It is not helping. It is hurting. Some colorful annuals in that spot would look a lot better. The yard has a generally unkempt and ragged look. Trim. Get rid of weeds. Remove unhelpful plants. If you want privacy on the porch, why not intentionally create a pretty screen instead of using spindly azaleas in a way that says "elderly and struggling"?There are umpteen ways to make something nice that screens. I would not line the walk with anything but the lawn on one side and groundcover on the other. Just weed the groundcover for improved appearance....See MorePooh Bear Birth Annoucement

Comments (5)Well, we went through that. Our now son-in-law took DD window and trying on shopping for a ring right after her return from Thanksgiving. So then we waited for when he would surprise her with the ring. Christmas? NO! New Years? NO! Valentine's Day? NO! His birthday? NO! Then they flew down so he could meet us finally, but still no ring. The nect week, 7 months after ring "shopping,"she was home visiting. He was going to switch jobs the next week to a much better job. I told her I was sure he was buying a ring that week with a signing bonus in his pocket. Well, he flew down to propose the very next day! Turns out he had bought the ring the day before and the sales lady convinced him to fly down and propose right away....See MoreI think I may be regretting my White Spruce order. ...
Comments (16)Since this topic surfaced, I've had the opportunity to review some of the literature. What I'm seeing is that even in worst-case scenarios, all trees of any given species do not succumb, and spruce species vary in their susceptibility, with again, Rocky Mtn. species being far and away the most prone to this problem, white spruce being intermediate, and Norway spruce having the most resistance, or at least, the lowest incidence of infection. I fully recognize you must do as you see fit. I've got no issue with that. I do, however, maintain that yours is a classic overreaction. So be it. I most definitely will not be unplanting my 3000 or whatever I've got! And while there's no way to prove or disprove this, if there was, I'd wager that in twenty years, there are going to be quite an abundance of nice, healthy spruce-mostly Norway but some white and a handful of others-up at my plantation. +om...See MorePlumeria Girl (Florida ,9b)
