I'm single-handedly trying to rebuild the canopy in my neighborhood. Well, at least on my lot. It is a long process.

We are on a limestone shelf here in the Texas Hill country. I think part of that terrain is limited soil for the trees and not a whole lot of water available easily which limits the heights of the trees. The Monterrey Oak will likely be the tallest at between 45-50 feet. I would love a 70 ft tall tree. I know in Ohio some of the trees get to 90+ feet.
A worthy goal! And, yes, a long process. Our town (below) got started 50 or 60 years ago. My house is hiding in the northern third.

You would not want it in the same location relative to your house. The main reason it would cost so very much to bring it down is because it is right next to the house, and when I say right next to the house, I mean my sons could have spent their teenage years sneaking out of the house by going out onto the porch roof through my office window then shimmying down the trunk of the tree without having to climb onto one of the branches first. The raccoons use it as their elevator to our porch roof all the time.
The Program is on. Duke, Duke...

Yes. Thanks for sharing Ymo.
A guy invests $33 in a coffee maker eight years ago and it craps out already? What th'?

soaking wet after a long dog walk, but big meat looms.
