Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would value your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.

When I went back to the house in Vancouver, I was brought home to at birth, I thought it was gone. There are so many huge and gorgeous Holly’s, hedges, hemlocks, Hazel nut, fruit trees, etc. still there only now touching the sky. We got out of the car and walked closer; there was the old house; now a heritage…”we just couldn’t see the house for the spectacular trees!”

The house I mostly grew up in had a hedge. Chinese Elm.
Grows stupid fast, you had to trim that bugger every week or so or it would grow into a tree. I never believed it cause they never got more than 3 feet tall before we took the hedge clippers to it.
At least 3 or 4 times my Mom hacked those things down to stumps, and they still grew back.
THen she had to sell the house in a bankruptcy claim and the people who bought the place NEVER TRIMMED THE HEDGE.
I had moved away from town by this point, and about 8 years after she sold the place I went back and decided to visit the old neighbourhood.
I nearly fainted when I saw that the “hedge” had now grown to be 30 foot trees. My mom knocked on their door, doing the “I used to live here and planted those trees 30 years ago” thing, and the guy said, yeah, they were pretty big, the ones that had overgrown the smaller, weaker ones, but that they had wreaked havoc on the plumbing, something about monster roots.

That was another thing that struck me about that old neighbourhood, All the trees got bigger and the streets got smaller.

here’s a link with google street view. Yes, those trees used to be a hedge kept no taller than about 2 feet.
