Dear WeatherCat handymen about the house,
Yesterday, I managed to finish trimming all the small branches trimmed away from the broken branch on our Acacia tree. I could do this any earlier because I had no place to put the material. I filled up 2-1/2 64 gallon green cans thanks to borrowing a neighbor's can. I had to wait for garage day to get the can empty once more. Today it was time to remove the large trunk of the branch. Here is a photo of that branch stripped of everything else:
I'm a bit leery of chainsaws so I cut all by hand. It was a bit of a struggle but clean living prevailed!
Here is what the branch looked after my final cut:
Alas the break between the two branches has frozen. I was hoping to close the gap, but I couldn't budge it. I hope the other branch at this
"Y" will survive. Here is the wheelbarrow loaded with the wood from the branch:
Definitely plenty of wood. Fortunately, I had a good use for it in the yard.
Just another day in the
"paradise" that is California . . . . .
Cheers, Edouard
P.S. Our arborist will come and seriously thin the tree, but they can't come until mid-April.
