I have 3 mature yellow pine trees in my front yard each about 100 feet tall. I like having them but I'm worried sick they're going to come down on my house or a neighbor's house one day. Any of you baws have this problem? How do you deal?

Sell your house and move before they do.

I deal by not worrying about it

If they fall, they fall

Have them checked out. If they are healthy, don't worry about it?

I don't live my life thinking of things that will cause an accident or kill me.. Seems like a wasted life.

Some people see the glass as half full.
Some see the glass as half empty.
Then there's the special ones that see the whole damn thing could break and they could step on the broken glass.

There's a good chance that one day, they will.

Enjoy them while you can.

Enjoy the shade, pussy. Too many people want to cut too many trees down when trees are probably the number one item in landscaping that provides the most beauty.

Well, that depends on how much money you want to spend vs. if you think you can fall that bastard without costing even more money.

agree. I have zero leaf dropping trees. the leaves my yardman picks up are from my neighbor's trees.

I’ve got quite a few large pines and white oaks right by my house. There is a sweet gum in front yard that’s pretty big I’m gonna get cut down but that’s b/c the roots are tearing my yard up and heading to my driveway, hell on my mower. The rest I’m leaving up but there is one particular big pine in back yard that if it fell would be quite devastating, sum bitch is huge.
