    We would spray out like a 1 yard ring with glyphosate, knock it down with a string trimmer when the dead ring appeared, and then throw down mulch into the ring. Kind of labor intensive but it looked nice and the trees seemed to like it. Only on mature trees obviously

    My neighbor planted a magnolia tree around the time we moved in. He was an 80 year old miserable racist who hated that there were minorities in our neighborhood and said that I was less than a man because I let my wife have a hobby (riding horses) rather than staying home to serve me. He’s dead now.

    I spend half my life picking magnolia leaves out of my flowers and bushes, and I run over an average of 14,897 magnolia cones each time I mow the lawn.

    I guess he won

    I spend most of the summer picking up rose of Sharon flowers in my back yard. I hate it so much

    I bought an acorn roller to pick up the thousands of acorns I get in my front yard. I fill a bucket, dump them at the edge of my backyard and the deer eat them in the evening.

    No animals are harmed in this arrangement.

    I took out ~19 huge pine trees that would definitely have killed me at some point. Left a Magnolia and Water oak.

    Put in a Gingko and three Japanese maples.

    The Gingko in the fall :dennard:
