This tree gives the Vincent's home character. As a kid, we all probably have a specific memory of the tree. I remember using it as base while playing hide and seek. It is so majestic and calm and I try to imagine it being gone but my imagination will not let me. It has secured it's home and Mother Nature can decide when it's time has come. I am petitioning Rachie to leave the tree and to clean it up. A skilled aborist can cut out the dead or threatening branches without killing the whole tree. Please help me to talk Rachie out of cutting down this beautiful tree.
