It's Friday, December 5, and the heat at our building is currently out! We're getting it fixed ASAP, but for today, there will be no one here. Please feel free to leave us messages (734-439-4936 or [email protected]), or drop off anything you need to in the dropbox on the back porch.

Thanks for your understanding, we'll see everyone Monday, and try to stay warm!

And the tree is down. It was too badly rotted at the base to determine age. We were able to get a good idea a bit further up the trunk, and based on that, it was already about 30' tall by 1750. Now we turn it over to Tyson Service for milling and drying. Check back with us in a couple years about a conference room table.

The driveway is back open again, just be mindful of the spots where the falling trunk crunched the asphalt a bit (that'll be the next project).

Almost there. One more day of using the Harris Street cut through.

And so it begins. Stevenson Arbor Care will be here for another couple of days to slowly and safely put the old oak to rest. PLEASE take care if you're driving or walking nearby; seeing a lift go up really puts the heights involved in perspective. If you need to access the parking lot, there's a map above.

It's time for a sad news update. Our office has been fortunate to share our space with a Burr Oak since it opened. The tree is somewhere in the range of 350-400 years old, and is sadly reaching the end of their lifespan.

A couple of weeks ago, a substantial limb dropped from the canopy. If someone had been walking underneath at the time, it wouldn't have been good. Since then, we've carefully examined the health of the tree and consulted with experts. The consensus is that the tree needs to come down now, before more limbs drop.

Over this week and the next, Stevenson Arbor Care will be carefully taking the tree down, and grinding the stump. It's not a decision we're taking lightly; the oak leaf is on our sign and letterhead. It's one of the landmarks we use when directing people to our office. This tree has been strong, solid, and dependable for generations, and it inspires us to do our work in the same way.

This won't be the end, however. Providing the trunk is in good shape, we'll have a new conference room table. Nothing will ever replace this one, but another oak tree will be going in later this year or early 2026.

If the trunk's in good shape, the table won't be ready for a year or more, since the lumber needs a long time to dry. In a fast-paced world where things need to be replaced all the time (please don't ask me about printer cartridges), I like knowing that it will take time to get to the end of this story, and I'm looking forward to welcoming a bit of the tree back in the future.
