I have a huge Pecan tree in my backyard. Pecan trees bear nuts every other year, and over the last month it has been consistently dropping nuts. About half of them drop right onto the roof of my house, making quite a bit of noise in the process, and another quarter of them seem to find their way into my pool, which is a total pain in the ass. Unfortunately, the tree is a little too close to my house for comfort. Pecan trees have this habit of dropping limbs, and with the size of the tree, I’m concerned that this could cause some major damage to my domicile. So I’m now torn between finding a way to keep the old man around, and just removing the tree altogether. I guess we’ll find out this afternoon, when the tree expert comes out to have a look. It doesn’t look good for the old man though.
