why do you guys plant trees so close to the powerline?


yes, i planted that tree 30 years before i was born.

make sure you plant em right underneath the high power line..


I'd plant them the same distance as the current one. I won't be in my house by the time it gets that tall.

is that on highway 308? Just passed on 308 across from twelve cedar. Some good rape right there.


on 308 but not by 12 cedars. there's one not far from 12 cedars that's somehow 10x worse. it's the trunk and one branch ticking straight out. pretty clear that entergy's plan is to make the trees look terrible and just hope that people cut them down.

Keep it trimmed yourself, and you won't have to worry about Entergy "slaughtering" it.

Cut the rest down. No power problems in the future.

Also the same guys that will bitch when they lose power after storms due to trees taking down power lines.

If I was Entergy/DEMCO, I'd pay someone to clear out a 150' ROW along every above ground power line.

Seriously? Then almost no neighborhood would have trees. 150'?

Almost any place is within 150' of a power line.

Now I would agree to something like no Branches allowed within 10ft of any line, and infinite distance above and below not allowed. I think that alone would help a lot.
