Storm Damage

The latest wind event (the area had 90+mph winds) blew over the old hollow locust tree in the yard. There were no nest in there this summer but previously we have had a screech owl nest in the cavity and many a squirrel.  When we first moved here there was an Asian hornet nest in there.  They are very large and scary, but not aggressive like some hornets.  Anyway, the hollow tree is now gone with the wind.  Inspector White is accessing the situation below.

Gnome made it through with only minor damage to his shelf mushroom 

 

The tree fell on my house plants but there are few casualties

 

One of the graphed Pawpaws lost it's graph in the wind (back right).  We taped it back on to see what happens.  The nurseryman says the root will grow the stock Pawpaw if the graph doesn't take.

  We secured the PawPaw trees with nylon ties
