It's coming down

We have deliberated for 3 summers but I think we are finally decided that the old apple tree in the back yard is coming down. This tree is giant and literally drops 10's of thousands of apples every year. It would be ok if the apples would mature enough to use but they don't and they start dropping around May and go all summer making the yard virtually useless. We want to set up our pool and deck in the corner of the yard that the tree is in as well. We have many other trees in our yard so it won't be too bad without the old tree. I will miss it for the one week that it blossoms in the spring but that is about it.
