Maxwell-8 4,277 #11 Posted February 19, 2022 Yesterday we had winds up to 85mph, blew the roof on one of our sheds off. We saw it when it happened. Almost hit our Horses. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,338 #12 Posted February 19, 2022 Glad it pretty much was a miss Jay! Similar situation here…strong winds Thursday night into Friday morning. This tree was 6”-7” diameter so not very big, but 10’ more in one direction and it would have taken out the hood or windshield in my truck. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The roots of those invaders will continue to sprout and keep coming back, so clear all around the area so you can mow them down, or spray every time they sprout up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, they shoot from the roots and have seeds. A Forestry guy told me to hack the bark a few places and spray weed killer in it. He said to kill them you have to make em suffer... The big problem is it was the neighbors tree and there are more close to the property line... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
