Let there be light!! A neighbor cuts down trees :-)

If you look on the member map you will see a pin stuck in our back yard. Down and slightly to the right is the neighbor that has removed all the trees. Front , side and to the rear, so that the yard is now more visible from the air. Our visible tree-line in that direction is across the next street where some tall pines are eye-level. The only remaining trees are "in the woods" and are up a hill. Confused? If you are I can draw a diagram.

Bottom line: The neighbor no longer has trees in his yard on the same level with his house. Trees remain on the hill. We have more sun from a SE direction. I can now hunt for some plants that say full sun.

Thanks for making it more clear. I can visualize it now, and I envy you your hunt for full sun plants. Or, not quite envy. You deserve it. I just wish I could go plant shopping too.

 

I am so envious Jerry. Neighbors on the south side of us planted evergreens (Douglas firs) 20 yrs. ago. We've gone from sunny pleasant to shady scary. With ice/snow storms in the winter and the branches hanging 20 feet over the property it was worrisome this last winter storm.

Heat here isn't a problem in the summer. So I miss the sun warming things up in the house like it used to. Nothing is ever static in nature. Maybe we'll get to see some sunny changes also

Here trees grow like weeds and I pull cedars, filberts, fir, walnut and a variety of other tree seedlings up by the dozens year round. Guess not every place has such an abundance of trees. I'll ship for postage
