This week we had the doctor come out to the Farmhouse. The tree doctor that is. I am somewhat shocked by the diagnosis. It seems we have a "very sensitive" Tulip Poplar on our hands. Therapy? Meds? Huh? Let me back up. We noticed this beauty is losing leaves.
This tree is right in front of the house. Let's all remember what happened way back when the large limb came crashing into the Farmhouse! The doctor said these trees are very sensitive and the construction may have stressed it. Great! I have moody trees! He said to make sure to water it during dry months and they are coming out to give it a nice big shot of B12 :) Let's hope this does the trick, because we don't want it to die. The doc also looked at our Leyland Cyprus tress,of which we have many.
They have a lot of brown branches. Fortunately this is not serious. Although he did send a cutting off to the "tree Lab". Who knew? I hope these trees are "less sensitive" than the poplars. We are now interviewing therapists for all of our landscaping. Assuming they are in network, of course!
It's always something! When we built our first house we had a bare lot. Not one tree. Over the years we planted many trees and after 28 years they looked great. I have heard that the new owner chopped many of them down. What! I may send that therapist over to her.
Thanks for stopping by.
