  1. There is an interesting story behind that tree.  We bought the farm from the grandson of the original owner, it had passed through 3 generations, and at the time the grandson was 89 yo.  His grandfather had 12 children, and he planted a sugar maple for each of his kids, sadly there are only 5 left, but they are huge.  This tree came down last summer, it was the second time it lost a huge limb, the first was the summer before.  3/4 of the tree is still in existence, but regardless I planted a new one about 10 feet away.  I do miss the privacy it gave the courtyard though!  It is scary when a big tree like that comes down, 7 times since I have lived here there have been huge limbs come down, and 5 trees are now gone, two were just stumps when we got here.
