This is the second of the two older trees on the property that has had to come down over the past few years. This walnut was a beautiful tree and if you have been to our house you will remember it standing as a sentinel at the edge of the yard.
There is a brand new baby walnut tree coming up just a few feet from where the old one was. It will be the rest of my life time before it will get to be any size but perhaps, for the next generation there will be another beautiful giant for them to admire.
We paid a tree service to down the tree and we told them we would do the rest. So we are still cleaning up…This is what it looked like when we started.
We are planning to take the larger section to a sawmill near here and have some boards made out of it. Walnut is such beautiful wood. The rest of it will go for firewood to keep us warm in the colder months.
