This is what we woke up to this morning!!! We arrived last night in the dark and did not see this until today. This probably happened on Tuesday, when there was a big storm and fierce winds. It couldn’t have happened last night, we would have heard something!
Our willow is a magnificent tree, probably at least 200 years old or maybe even older. I showed you pictures of it when we stayed up here for a week in July. I’m not sure if you get the massiveness of this limb that broke off – it’s really like a third of the tree! But thank goodness, two-thirds of it is still standing. Perhaps this is nature’s way of insuring that what’s left will be healthy and strong and keep on going for another 100 years? I sure hope so as we love this tree.
Our week upstate
Hudson Valley
LongHouse Food Revival promises to be pretty amazing!
In Southern Cali!!
Going to Greece
Do not know how old ours is but several huge limbs over the last 20+ years have fallen 🙁 sorry for your loss I love my tree as well
It is sad, but we’re considering leaving the huge limb right where it is – a nice sculptural addition to the property!
I have a huge one beside mine from last year I hauled off what I could now nature will reclaim her in time 🙁
They’ve been cutting down old trees in CA for the Space Shuttle Endeavor to go from LAX to the Science Museum and my heart breaks a little…but they promise to plant 2 for every 1 that’s cut down….so instead I will pray for your Willow. Good Luck and Prayers.
Thank you Leslie!
SENDING GOOD ENERGY TO YOUR TREE
