I have a spot in the corner of the yard where about four or five California Fan Palms – a.k.a. ‘weeds,’ started up behind the umbrella tree growing there. I was afraid that they would grow to the point of uprooting the block walls, so I decided to start removing them. The first part of this is to remove the top of the tree, which I did on this past Monday.
I went out today to fill the bird feeders today and I noticed that the trees I just topped had continued growing at an astounding rate! The core of one of the trees that was flush cut on Monday with the chain saw grew about six inches in four days. Remarkable!
Like I said, weeds.
