Eeeeek, diggin' 'em out?! Geez! Mostly you cut trees down and that's it, isn't it? I'm experiencing some shifts in the ground below my above-ground foundation house, I think. My doors aren't shutting cleanly like they used to do, for example. And I have one Fruitless Mulberry within 20 feet of one end of the bedroom-hallway. Not sure what to do, but I'm thinking I need to have someone come out with one of those blade-thingees to cut into the surface roots between it and the house. The tree's old enough, I think, to manage the damage, if you will. It's probably 50-years-old, now.

Hmmm, something to contemplate. Here it is in July. It covers the west side of my house and is one of two I have on the west side. The other covers the patio. I can't even imagine living without them in our summers. Lots'a leaves in summer, leafless branches in winter. It doesn't get any better than that!
