Another tree in the backyard succumbed to the metal wrapped around the root system. Ironically, the original homeowners returned a Facebook message I sent them 4 years ago - today! I asked them about the patio and landscaping. This is our second tree to die, and there will likely be more in the next few years. We have no idea what to do with this area. We're thinking grass, right now. Then, when more trees are out, we'll figure something else. Big thanks to Rick who brought his truck over and pulled it out in less than 12 seconds. The roots were barely out of the original root ball! Ugh! I bet that tree was expensive too!
