Tree health and beauty

After a very busy couple of weeks working long hours I just had a nice pleasant experience visiting Leuralla gardens at Leura meeting the owner who has the same passion for trees as I do and who is interested in retaining a large mature tree rather than just condemn the tree. It was nice to discuss the beauty of trees and our disappointed that many people just want to cut down trees for no other reason than they are big or they drop leaves or they move in the wind. The owner told me a story about an old couple about 80 years old sitting on a bench in the garden admiring a nice golden elm and when she came across them their comment was I hope Heaven is like this the owner comment was I hope there are trees in heaven my response if there are not I am not staying :) In the garden there are a couple of very young sequoia only 120 years old (live expectancy is 1100 Years +) Before we remove tree please consider the many benefits trees offer from shade/cooling social, ascetically pleasing and of course they produce oxygen you know the stuff we need to breath to keep alive
