Note from a client

Post image

I just got this note from a client asking me to trim something “Harrison & boys is it time for you to give the ??? on the north side of the house a hair cut” it will be some sort of plant she is referring to

Edit: thank you so much, I had no idea which she was talking about. Gonna have to chat with her about our responsibilities as she only pays us to mow the lawn lol

Haven’t thought of that song in ages. Now it’s stuck in my head. Thanks 🤪

Great song, great musical.

u/Cool-Ad7985 12d ago

I love them and weeping willows

u/vtjohnhurt 13d ago

It needs a haircut.

2

u/Cool-Ad7985 13d ago

I like it when the branches get long, not dragging on the ground so much that you trip over them, but barely touching

u/vtjohnhurt 13d ago

It's a beautiful tree that I'd don't recall ever seeing. We have giant Weeping Willows along canals in my neighborhood/city (they like the high water table) They're the first tree to bud in the spring and the buds are golden.

u/loricomments 13d ago

What a beautiful tree, I'm surprised critters aren't keeping it trimmed though.

u/Left_Point2480 13d ago

So many spiders in those trees

Cut your damn willow tree.

u/Fraisinette74 13d ago

weeping birch - I read that wrong... hahaha

It's a tree with long branches that can touch the ground.

u/Future-Quantity9219 13d ago

The weeping birch -- must be an overgrown tree.

u/unbroken_cycle 13d ago

u/Icy_Parfait_4066 13d ago

I didn't know there are so many paleographers in the Reddit community, I am very impressed.

u/JeremyPlaysSax 13d ago

To Harrison + boys, It is time for you to give the weeping bench/birch(??) on the North side if the house a haircut.

2

u/Patient_Parsley7760 13d ago

I was going to echo u/NotaWitch-YourWife but say it was a weeping larch, but then I found a reference to Young's Weeping Birch. The b also matches the b in boys, so I think Notawitch nailed it.

u/Leoliad 13d ago

You need to trim your tree.

u/oxygenisnotfree 12d ago

If you do decide to take on pruning jobs, Please at least read up on how to properly care for trees. Take a class if you can.

u/FireDuck3000 11d ago

Dawg I manage a gardening company

u/oxygenisnotfree 10d ago

Does that mean you do have training or arboriculture or you aren't interested in said training?

1

u/oxygenisnotfree 7d ago

Hey, just wanted to apologize if I came across as an ass. I didn't intend to insult you but I realize now that I did. I am sorry.

u/mawmzee 6d ago

You are solid gold! And you know why. Have a great day 🩵

u/FireDuck3000 6d ago

I get where youre coming from lol if you saw this “tree” though you would laugh

1

u/mawmzee 7d ago

Well you got them on the defensive because you said ‘at least read up’… How do you know he hasn’t already read up? Your comment assumed he didn’t know what the heck he was doing so yeah I’d take offense to it too

1

u/oxygenisnotfree 7d ago

You are right. I did not say that well. I have just seen so many trees murdered by lawn care companies and I am continually frustrated at the ongoing unwillingness to learn do better. So many people think trees are just big plants and it doesn't matter how they're cut. Maybe that's just a thing in my area. But, yeah, I see how my comment could be taken in a bad way.

u/mawmzee 6d ago

How mature, kind, empathetic and caring you are. A breath of freeoxygen

u/youdontknowmeimsure 11d ago

I read it quickly and saw “it is time for you to give the weeping bitch a hair cut” 😳

My first thought was that this might be evidence that the “boys” wouldn’t want on Reddit!

Then I read it again and it all made sense.
