The Norway Maple in the front yard was condemned this week so it will soon be cut down. The tree is owned by the city so they will do the cutting. We believe it is between 80 and 100 years old. We enjoyed it's shade on summer days and we will miss the old tree.
Note: The tree will be replaced by a London Plane or a Tulip Tree. Comments are welcome on the benefits/drawbacks of either.
The tulip tree gives more flowers like a magnolia. The plane tree is what I call a "mock maple", leaves kind of like maples but the bark is very different.
