My parents bought this property around 1966. We all loved the trees that were already growing there.... and Dad planted more trees including these poplars.
After Dad passed in 2004, some trees started to fall over. The first notable event was when a big Robinia pseudoacacia fell down one night just wiping the edge of the house.
In 2014 there was a big easterly storm and about five trees blew over or dropped big branches. A Robinia fell against the garage/workshop and caused quite a problem. A huge oak crashed on the driveway. The electric cable slung between the house and the workshop was torn down by a branch. And a big white poplar crashed over a boundary fence and damaged a neighbour's home.
The poplars in the video are very close to neighbouring houses on Newman Drive. They may have withstood the next big easterly gale, but they could also fall over. It is sad they have gone, but I think we've done the right thing.
The guys that felled the trees are with Abseil Tree Care. They are great to work with and their price was reasonable. They felled about a dozen trees for us including a huge pine that was probably over 100 years old.
