I have to admit, there is something satisfying about taking down a rogue tree in your yard that's two or three times your size.
Mimosas are pretty, but good gods I wish they didn't run rampant so. And they grow FAST. I look the other way for two seconds and suddenly they're towering over the house. It doesn't help that they also can be tough to dislodge - for a lot of trees I can dislodge them through persistence, a shovel, and a good pair of branch loppers. For mimosas, though, I have to get out the axe.
We have two that are growing a little too close to the house and are a little too large for me to take down single handed, so they're going to require the addition multiple pairs of hands, a ladder, and strategy. But at least I can get rid of the smaller ones on my own before they become more of a problem.
