those trees being gone would make me happy happy happy ! i only have one spot out in the back that is full sun . sadly my greenhouse has already spoken for every inch of my full sun . but by the time i am done in the next year or so i will end up with plenty that beautiful golden warmth . i am planing on doing 1 tree at a time until i am done . some could just be topped and trimmed up but there are 5 that must go completely .don't get me wrong , shade is wonderful on those 100 degree days but all of my favorites need full sun or at least part of a day of it . yall should see the side yards and the back . big trees everywhere . not to mention the ivy that has taken over . some of the ivy vines up the trees are as big around as the top of my leg near my thigh . do any of yall have a clue how to kill ivy and not kill the good plants and trees ?
