I believe every front yard could use a 70’ cedar tree. It’s grown quite tall since I moved in, and luckily, I don’t need to water or trim it. A few years back, I wrapped a long strand of colorful LED lights around it, and it quickly became a local favorite, glowing beautifully each evening for a few hours. I wish I had solar-powered lights, but oh well, you can’t have everything!
One spectacular benefit of having this tree in my yard is my very own Bird Condo is steps away from the front door. All year birds come and go; one pair of cardinals has staked their patch under the tree. Even my ever-present squirrel family doesn’t dislodge them. A few hummingbirds are back for the season; I was worried when I didn’t see them earlier; however, all is well. They zoom into the feeder and disappear into the tree branches.
When and if I ever sell my home, I’ll run an ad with this headline: “Seventy-foot high Cedar tree for sale, house included at no additional cost.”
Are we there yet?
