It's an ordinary tree by any standard and very fast growing. A homeowner in Chicago's northwest suburbs had one in her yard that was planted by her mother so it was very sentimental . The diameter of the trunk was 70 inches so you can imagine how la
rge it was. And then imagine one day she came home and the tree was gone. A big, empty space where once the majestic tree had reigned supreme.A hospital next to her property was doing construction and the landscaper had marked the tree for removal, thinking it was on their property. Wrong. Oops !
As a landscaper that story made me cringe, but then, as a homeowner , I feel for the loss of that tree planted by a mother in her daughter's garden.
The village ended up compensating the homeowner $26,000. This just may be the most costly tree in America , or the world for that matter. Moral of story : Double check those property lines if you're thinking of removing a tree !
Most Strange Tree
this "miracle" tree has a complex structure as it formed several roots in a rather wide area.
