- ghaff 3y agoI lost a huge ash out by the road about 10 years back. The only saving graces were: - It was on the road and the town took it down at no charge. - With that tree gone, the strip of my front field I was letting grow out grew much more and shields me a lot better from the road than I was before.
- heads 3y agoIn a lot of parts of the countryside that I love, the ash trees have completely obscured all the best views over the past 30 years. It feels awful to say but I can’t wait for ash-die-back to wipe out this generation. We’ll be glad for the timber to use as fuel too, of course.
- nemo44x 3y agoHow much is that going to cost? You need to get the tree hauled to a mill if one is close by and cut into lumber that needs to be sorted through to select pieces that are furniture grade and then sent to a craftsman to actually make it. Sounds expensive! Honestly be grateful it’s gone. They’re crappy trees that are dangerous to have near property and people.

- AlbertCory 3y agoOh noes. I have what I thought was called a Rayford Ash in my yard, on the advice of a tree specialist from the local nursery. But apparently I've been misspelling it? https://www.moonvalleynurseries.com/raywood-ash https://www.moonvalleynurseries.com/raywood-ash
