The glorybower tree in my front yard is the largest living thing I've ever killed. I'm glad I wasn't there to see her get sawed down and dumped in the back of a truck. The butterfly bush, on the other hand, was like a monster that thrived on abuse. I'd violently rip and crack off branches and it seemed like ten more would grow in. Now, I'm starting fresh with my very own Japanese Maple. I wish her good luck.
