The Stump

    Well, it's gone and all that's left is the stump and a ton of cones and sawdust. The logs were put out at the curb and were gone by this afternoon. The rest of the debris which wasn't carted away by the tree guys will be picked up (I hope) by the garden refuse collectors There are 6 bags! They are supposed to come today but haven't been yet due, I think, to all the trees that came down in last Saturday's storm. I passed one today that was spread over two front lawns. It was huge!

   Here is all that remains of the Norway Spruce. You can see how it had outgrown the small space it was planted in. Now I need to decide what to put there to hide the composter.

    1. There are plants there but they are mostly ground cover., I think need some larger bushes.

  4. It's a shame to lose the tree but good to have it dealt with before it got out of hand. X

  5. On our community page there was a list recently posted by the council of "suggested" non invasive trees and/or shrubs to plant. I was very surprised to see that a number of types of Maples are on invasive lists & not considered native to Canada/Ontario. Maybe the Toronto council have a recommended list you could go to ... and who knows maybe a discount to be had! PS: let's hope this time Google sees me (lol).

    1. No discounts but I did get a list of permitted trees to choose from. I chose a Hackberry as it seemed the one that would best fit my garden/
