The little black squiggles remind me of the characters of a foreign language...
I'm wondering whether this tree should stay or not. It's a volunteer in our yard-- a bit crooked, but straightening out. The potential problem is that it's forked at about my height, and I'm concerned that it might be destined to fail, at some point. We could just remove the smaller of the two branches, but the larger one's forked, too, further out.
Decisions, decisions...
