Monday my bradford pear tree is being cut down and a Allegheny Serviceberry is being planted.
The Bradford Pear was purchased by my parents when I bought my home back in 2008, before I knew how invasive they are. I've saved up over the last year to have it replaced.
I'm going to use sections of the trunk as a stepping path for my daughter to play on in the backyard (maybe then I won't feel so guilty for cutting down their generous gift?)
My big question- I now have bird tenants in the hanging birdhouse- how do I go about moving the birdhouse?
The new tree will be too small to support it. I have another tree in my sideyard but that's over 100 ft away. I have shepherd hooks but none are about the same height.
There's also a squirrels nest. I can't tell if it's in use- anyone know how to move that as well? I hate heights (and the idea of being mamed by a squirrel? But I'm willing to risk it in the name of my property cohabitants!)
Unfortunately rescheduling isn't an option.
