The Chop...

After planting the Paulowia Tomentosa three years ago as a mere twig. I've enjoyed watching it get taller and taller and now very much a proper tree, but  it was always destinded for the big chop. Which it got the other day, I couldn't see a fifty foot tree fitting into my landscape. The deed done I'm looking forward to even more dramatic leaves this year. Now it's on to the Eucalyptus...
