Keep pine tree in ocean view?
Post Body
Hi! I really enjoy this view in my cabin and am considering taking down the middle pine tree to have more of it. What do you guys think?

Yes, tall solo pines that grew in a clearing are enormous and usually disfigured "Christmas trees" compared to these poles that are pretty clearly the last remaining of an old grove that's been cleared out. I have an old Eastern white pine thicket on my property and it's nearlng maturity. About 50 of them are blown over already. They just get huge, and then tip over in the wind cause I'm on top of a hill with hard rocky clay. It was all pasture until it was abandoned in the late 18th century. Pines are considered a pioneer species and when they age and fall they create a lot of wildlife habitat as well as allow hardwood forest regeneration.
We have a large deer population, and deer are the enemy of baby oak trees. I have hundreds of young oak seedlings that pop up every spring that all get eaten by the deer by the end of spring. The only young oak saplings I've found have been in very inaccessible areas created by the fallen pine.
Fuck your "view" OP. It's a goddamn window frame. Go outside. Go hike in the woods. Go sit on a rock and watch the bugs and the birds...
