Maybe I should have mentioned that my father in law retired from the
California Dept of Forestry? He would definitely be savvy to girdling a tree.
Now the other's have potential. Perhaps if I drilled a hole in a large root
just below the dirt level and kept it filled with something like RoundUp? It's
a thought...but I like the old guy and wouldn't do something like this to him.
He's got sentimental feelings for that tree he planted a long time ago. To
keep a clear conscience, the best I can hope for is some sort of tree disease,
lightning or a very selective brush fire( It's gotta be selective or I may end
up burning down my observatory). My tactic for these past 5 or 6 years has
been submitting my Christmas list stating that all I want is permission to
prune the top 6 feet off a certain Juniper tree. Since the construction of my
observatory ten years ago, I've got a definite hate/hate relationship with
that tree.
