{The Big 'Ol Ficus...Gotta Go Bye-Bye!!}

This tree had been "trimmed" before we moved in. It didn't look this unruly. We've only lived here for 3 months. This thing is OUT of control! A ficus will "grow to it's environment". Well...it's only 14 years old and just keeps on growing. I don't want to pay $900 to get it trimmed down to nubbins every year, so we're going to have it removed. It's not like we sit under it and enjoy a nice mojito...it's in that far back corner. Our neighbors hate it and will think we're the best thing since sliced bread when it's GONE! No more leaves in their yard blowing into their pool! WooHoo! Bye, bye Ficus! I hate to kill ya, but you're killing our block wall!
