Even when a tree dies, it has a certain beauty. Animals still use it as nesting ground and since this tree died shortly after we moved in, we have cut down the parts that might fall on the house, and found the following other uses for it.
The roots provide a great scratching point for the outside cats.
The remaining trunk is a sculpture around which to decorate. Yard art is an important part of our lives.
The base is a wonderful flower bed and expands as needed for the seasons.
Cats, lizards and squirrels love to climb it.
Woodpeckers still can nest in it.
If you look out from the house or patio, it still looks like a tree. Trees are hard to part with. Whether living or dead they enhance the landscapes.
