Uh, Ron? I don't think fig trees are SUPPOSED to bear fruit in West Michigan...or were you being metaphorical? Is that a crabapple tree? Cuz those you can just cut down on the basis of the fact that having those little buggers all over the ground is incredible annoying.
Nope, Mary - that was an apricot tree. Its cousins, the cherry tree and the backyard apple tree received the same treatment at my hands this weekend. It's a result of the atavistic impuse that comes upon me in the fall.
