my least favourite part of our garden is the hedge we share with the neighbour (who are extremely nice).
Thus, when I do maintenance of it... I tend to be a little more brutal.
like say.... cutting any branches on our side down to the stump.
it grows so fast! it also harbours evil ivy and holly bushes

An interesting interview with a former Canadian General on his recent visit to Ukraine and his impressions of the current state of the #russiaUkraineWar
“ Many Ukrainians argue that Western support has often arrived too slowly. Looking back over the past four years, do you think allies have fully adapted to the realities of this war?
In Canada’s case, I would say no. The support was well-intentioned, but often politicized and disconnected from battlefield realities. Too much emphasis was placed on being seen to provide aid, rather than on delivering capabilities quickly and effectively.”

The former Alberni High School (1920-1952) and Redford Elementary School (1980s) has had a large fir tree on its property likely for that entire time… The tree is at least 80-100 years old.
It was sold a few years ago. I am not speaking ill of the First Nations developer because I actually appreciate what they have done at the property and agree with the development.
This is a failure of City policy not protecting important trees and public spaces that continue to be lost in the City. They provide shade, habitat, and public enjoyment. They are not rotten, they are not at risk of falling or blowing down in a storm.
I don’t understand why people are afraid of trees. 🌲
