re: Is there any more of a PITA tree than a river birch?

The queerest tree on the planet. When I bought my place one of the neater things about it was the driveway. 65 or so big River Birch trees lining both sides of it. Fast forward 8 years and I now have about 40. The others died from what I assume is gay tree aids. Every year I lose a few more. Then ones that are able to fend of gay tree aids rain twigs and limbs in the slightest hint of a breeze. They make a 15 MPH gust seem like a F5 finger of God tornado. frick em, frick em

I like my river birch. However it is in backyard and away from house. It did its job by soaking up the low lying wet spot I had.
