A third large branch fell off one of the black walnuts. by large I'm talking, at least 15 feet and four or more inches thick. I'm not worried, the tree seems in good health. There is a heavy crop of walnuts this year and it's taking off some of the branches. One came down and after I cut it up, there were maybe 50 nuts on the ground; just a section of one branch. I've been very lucky, the branches keep only, grazing my almost-a-barn. An aluminum ladder that is stored on the back of the barn may have been bent beyond use. I haven't had time to see. The people I live with keep me busy and full of anxiety. I think the tree is no more than 75 years old, maybe younger. The one old photo I have of the house form the late 40's, early 50's, the tree isn't there yet. The spread has got to be close to 100 feet, truly amazing. The trunk has grown noticeably wider in the past 30+ years.
That's something I must do, find an old picture and compare.
Speaking of trees; it's always there but i was studying the base (is it a stump, if it's only 8" high?) of the old maple that had to be cut down some years ago. A pup tent could have been set up on the space it takes up.
55 degrees and showery again.
