A beautiful shady tree, so cooling for taking a spell under when outside working
in the garden. It is a backdrop for the rose garden, and a welcoming sight to
see from the gazebo. This year we had to deal with a grub that suddenly attacked
90% of the leaves, but Dick managed to wipe out the grub infestation by encircling
each branch with sticky tape so when the grubs came down out of the tree to
possibly multiply they encountered the tape and got stuck there until they died. The tree
has now made a recovery.
