I cut down my tree this weekend after having asked permission and received it. I got a little crazy with the chainsaw and cut down one extra gum in my back yard as well as limbed up some of the other trees. I have a pile of yard debris the size of a suburban on my curb, I really hope the city will take it all. Now the dumbass at the HOA wants me to replace it with a 2.5" tree. I already have more trees in my yard than 99% of the homeowners in my community. In addition I have a 100 year old live oak which is classified as a "grand tree" meaning under no circumstances can I ever cut it down, which I'm happy with because I love the tree, it's part of the reason I bought the house. I think I'm going to tell the idiot at the HOA that the 2.5" Japanese maple that has been in the ground for a few years is the one I planted.
