If a Tree Falls in the Vineyard When No One is Around . . .




Here are some pictures of something that happens about every five years - a tree just falls down. This one happened to fall from the neighbor's property and landed in the upper Pommard block. The tree was easily 70 feet+, but it only about 20 feet landed in the vineyard. Amazingly it fell between two posts, so there wasn't a whole lot of damage. About 20 plants, some wires and the deer fence were damaged. Charlie (the dog) had a lot of fun walking back and forth on the trunk. I didn't even know dogs did that.

And no, the logging described in the last entry didn't knock the tree over. This one was done in by some pretty strong winds - there's a huge chunk of ground standing upright at a 90 degree angle around the roots.
