Society has become so intolerable of nature that flower, fruit and leaf drop is the largest reason for removals.

Especially now with rainwater tanks, pools were always bad but now leaves in gutters is now on.


That mentality never ceases to amaze me. Only the other day i were driving down a street lined with mature Pin Oak street trees. The whole road was covered thick with fallen leaves. To me it was beautiful. I wanted to stop the car, get out and roll around in em. I thought, "How can people not like this". Its Autumn. Its a season. Its one of natures most wonderful artistic displays. And all the these people see is mess. Sad really.

I dont get cutting down a perfectly good tree so you dont have to clean the gutters. For the cost of a large removal you could pay someone to clean them for you for years.
