But sometimes we need to remove it for building a house or business or company.

We're on our second house in the development, and there is a cedar elm in the backyard that was planted when the house was built five or six years ago. I hate to cut it down, but it's really not in the right spot for us to enjoy any shade. Plus, if we have room for extra trees, it would be great if they were growing something we could eat. Between the cedar elm and a wax myrtle, I think we have some tree removal in our near future. I was curious if we could do it ourselves or if it's too big of a project.Claire Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040271123285093923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-56412872746553466092015-11-25T00:58:09.098-05:002015-11-25T00:58:09.098-05:00Oh mannnn, that sucks.

I almost planted one last winter, but went with an anacua instead, since I was fascinated by the one in your garden. I'm looking forward to seeing how your backyard evolves with the addition of such a large tree!Lorihttp://gardenerofgoodandevil.wordpress.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-20838573986814641232015-11-19T23:36:42.147-05:002015-11-19T23:36:42.147-05:00It must have been a hard decision but it sure does...It must have been a hard decision but it sure does sound like the right one. If you were my neighbor I'd appreciate your not adding another invasive (and thorny) shrub or tree to the mix ... so much of my neighborhood is already a demonstration of what not to plant. <br />May your new oak grow happily in the garden! <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-18275481143441681942015-11-17T08:31:50.157-05:002015-11-17T08:31:50.157-05:00You set an excellent example.

I wish I could claim I "only" had one small tree to take out to undo plantings made with old information before invasiveness was much of a consideration. More than one of the plants I bought (from reputable local nurseries) that were originally labeled as "well adapted" have turned out to be invasive and as such are no longer welcome in my spaces. Getting them all out is going to be a protracted process. I'm sure the oak will prosper and soon enough you'll have to look at photos to recall how your garden used to look.

Correcting mistakes we make as gardeners is often difficult but creates opportunities which you have seized.I look forward to the watching the development of your new oak tree.

But it sounds like it's a good decision for your garden, especially since yours is mostly a native garden. I look forward to seeing how your garden evolves with the new chinquapin oak.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.com
