I completly agree Sean,
that tree was one of the only living things she could see out of her window was'nt it? And for how many years? That poor little girl.
She would have seen the seasons change through that tree and it kept her in touch with the outside world.
We had a similar story 6 months back, this lovely old lady lived whom we had done work for in the past had a horrific car accident and lost a leg .Her husband died just before that.
She had 8 months in re-hab, is learning to walk again,do everything all over.
She lives alone and has a beautiful big Ironbark ( can't remember specifically what sort) but she loves that tree. She sits under it and admires it every day for hours.She says it is one of the most important things in her life now and it means everything to her
she wanted us to come and prune it. We could'nt get down there( it's 100kms away and we were too busy) so she nearly got in the local loppers!
I managed to make a quick few phone calls for her to get three quotes from qualified arborists and her tree now looks beautiful.Mother nature is good to hold onto when you've got little else so i think they should do what ever is necessary to keep Anne's tree alive.You can visit Auschwitz or the other concentration camps as see the horror. With that tree you can see the hope.
