OOPS!
I was sitting in my living room around noon, when my son stopped by and said something about my tree limb and I didn't know what he was referring to. He said my tree was half gone out front. I thought he was kidding. There was no wind or bad weather, it just fell apart. This old elm tree must be 70 years old or so. Can you believe this, the whole trunk is empty and it was budding out anyway!!! I can't believe it fell there and not on someones car. I had called the city last year that this tree needed to be cut down but they never came by. I need to put an old pair of sweat pants in that hole with the legs hanging out. Think that would stop traffic?

I think it's ashame when stuff happens to established trees like this. It was a good thing it didn't land on someone's car. Good luck!!
LOL!! Grannyann, I double dog dare you to put those pant legs hanging out of that tree. lol
That's weird that the trunk was hollow like that.
Thank goodness no one was hurt.
It happened to my daughter in Grand Rapids one year. It fell on her car!!!

Haha. Poor tree. Kinda feel sorry for the big guy ... it's not like those branches grow over night!
I think the sweat pants are a great idea! lol. I have a dead tree in my yard I need to get down, too. I did not know they got hollow when they died.

If you do the pants thing, make sure you post the photo. We'll all get a good chuckle out of that!
