Summer 2011
A tree lost to natural causes such as weather, insects, disease or even construction can be an emotional experience. My wife and I encountered this situation in the summer of 2011 when high winds toppled a Redmond Linden tree. We planted the sapling 16 years earlier and enjoyed watching it mature through the years. We were saddened at the loss of this tree as it was the centerpiece of our front yard.
