Today is Earth Day. I hope you all do something appropriate. I take an old gas powered lawn mower out, fire it up, close the choke all the way and park it under a tree, thereby spewing carbon dioxide into the air for the tree to convert to oxygen. If I have remembered to have my two cans of Green Death and two Vicodin for breakfast I can actually hear the tree thanking me. (Trees talk funny.)

Happy Earth Day! I killed a huge China Tallow or commonly referred to as a China Berry tree in my back yard. It is an invasive species that had grown to the point of damaging a fence and rubbing my roof. I drilled several long 2 foot holes in it and with a transmission funnel, poured weed killer into it. It suffered but did not die. I then poured some old gasoline into it. That did it. A month later 2 fellas driving a truck like Sanford and Son saw the dead tree from the street and offered to remove it for a fee. It's gone except for the stump where I placed a bird bath. Even though it was an invasive species, I didn't like killing the tree.
So then Trey...it's ok for others to do your killing for you but...I mean...Isn't your house made of wood? How many trees had to die to built your house?
I did something roughly with a Wisteria in my neighbor's back yard, but it is only roughly similar. Wisteria is like the plant world's serial killer. They have no right to live.
